Personally I would love to work with non-profits right now, regardless of pay implications. Recent macro events have really awoken my desire to do good in the course of my work. I'd like to think there are others with a similar outlook right now, but maybe I'm an outlier in this industry...

I feel much the same; in part I'm starting to feel like that because what I'd hoped would be a great tool for breaking down barriers and communication just seems to have accelerated our consumption and been coopted for things like ads and propoganda.

Part of the problem I think is some/a lot of people (that might otherwise entertain a more ethical career choice) have mortgages/family and don't have the luxury to take a pay hit to work for a NPO.
