Should people who sacrifice their careers for noble goals be paid less?

Not that I am demanding an answer from you specifically. It's just a weird question in the context of a country where wage labor is the only real source of income for individuals.

What does “paid less” even mean in this context? If you sacrifice your career, you sacrifice the remuneration you were receiving from it. It’s part of the career…

That’s just simple economics - if they’re willing to settle for a noble job even if they get paid less then they’ll get paid less on average

In a market driven economy: yes. It’s the same reason why game developers are paid less than developers in other high skill jobs: game developers are willing to get paid less in return for working on games.

Your goal is the “noble” goal now, not your career.
