[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm torn because OP sounds like a nice person and you worked hard and it must feel great.

I Guess to each their own, though. I don't really get how someone would feel rewarded by - what, money? fame? prestige? on their death beds.

What is the impact you are having on the world?[/quote]

What impact are you or 99.9% of people having on the world?[/quote]

I hope and am striving to reduce global poverty. Whether or not I'm achieving impact, I don't know. But I am trying.
I get that the vast majority of people don't work for socially-oriented enterprises or nonprofits. I also get that putting food on the table is important.
But while I never would say this in real life, I don't get people who kill themselves to... what, have a nice boat? House?... I just don't see how having cold, hard cash can mean giving up what it sounds like law partners give up - and for what? To make a client richer?

You probably aren't having much impact.  So in your eyes, someone who isn't (in your subjective opinion) doing "good" with their career shouldn't feel rewarded or proud by career accomplishments?  Is the above just something you are telling yourself to justify having a job that doesn't pay well?[/quote]
