There aren't that many jobs where you can pretend to keep your hands clean. My husband's first job was at a startup he described as "helping rich people gamble with their money". I'm currently working for a public university, which I felt pretty great about from a morality perspective, but the pay is probably around 2/3 of what I would be getting in the private sector.
