Probably because "making the world a better place" has been a trope used so much in the industry that it's made it to a TV show [1]. It's fine to be passionate about your job. It's fine to be paid well. You don't need to make us believe that you're mother Theresa on top of it.

You should stop using mother theresa this way.
Why?
Because this "saint" protected child molesters and collected megabucks for her poverty porn empire.
What a gem of a TV show.
Its beyond trope, its a cult. https://people.howstuffworks.com/zizians.htm

The don't need you to believe it. They just need themselves to hear say it.
