I heard once that if there is something - whether of a monetary value or not - that allows you to "sidestep your morals", then you didn't have any morals in the first place.


Then I'd argue that I don't have any morals in the first place.

There are differing levels of how strongly I feel about certain moral values I hold. For example, working for a company that dealt in wholesale killing of others is obviously worse than working for an advertising network. Would I work for doubleclick for $1M a year? Hell yeah. Would I spy on citizens of my country for the same amount? No.

Does that make me not have morals? I don't know.
