People With High-Paying Jobs
I know the answers to this could go many different ways and I honestly look forward to the serious answers.. With that being said, are good people who do "bad" things for money, really bad people? If you do it long enough, often enough, do your lines of morality somehow through time, slip away? For example, take someone like Jamie Dimon. I get it. He's very rich. I am jealous of that aspect but to dedicate his whole life to gouging people ( a la Clients/Customers) etc. Why do they do that? Okay. Pays well. I get it. You are getting paid to do something someone, somewhere doesn't want to do or won't and that's why you make the big money. Yet if I met him, I bet he's a probabaly a nice guy that who knows? Maybe I would want to be friends with, maybe. It is not so much an "I'm better than you" but what kind of man makes his living knowing that at the end of the day, yes he gets paid well, yes you may have a family to support( all "normaL" things) but with your ability and brains? You still do it for the money? Do you do it for the money or because you are up to your eyeballs in debt or do you like what you do?

Re: People With High-Paying Jobs
What do you consider high-paying? How much per year? I doubt there are many multi-millionaire CEOs here. From my experience, people usually think they're behaving ethically if it's become a standard in that business. We expect car salespeople to lie. We expect investment rating people to be bought off. During the financial crisis, some big banks had their bonds rated high a week before they went under.

You're not a good person if you're doing bad things for money.

Go out and work hard and get paid. It’s all about how bad you want it. I want to get paid like a doctor or an attorney. You gotta want it

Yes. If you do bad things you're a bad person. It's not a difficult concept.

I hope you didn't take offense to my sentence about car salesman. From what I've read, you are one of the honest ones.MattleyCrue wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 5:17 pm Go out and work hard and get paid. It’s all about how bad you want it. I want to get paid like a doctor or an attorney. You gotta want it
