High salaries have high costs. Taking a good paying job knowing that your employers you think are wrong doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, just a selfish one. Y'know, like almost everyone.

I suggest you do some informational interviewing while you're still in school, so that you can network and also refine your vision of what you want your first job out of college to be like. Talking to people on the inside of what you think you might like to do is a great way to start forming opinions on how you might choose to live.

Of course, this is not at all what I did. It's what I'm doing now. I did a professional development workshop last year when I was still thinking of going to law school and I got to know some pretty awesome people. One of them was a big finance guy from Mt. Sinai. Anyway, through the work we were doing, he took a liking to me and said "don't become a lawyer. It will crush your soul. I think you'd be way happier doing something else."

Now, that might sound like unsolicited old-guy advice, but this is a guy that worked with lawyers day in and day out and the kind of work we were doing was pretty intense stuff, so we were able to pretty accurately size each other up. It wasn't exactly a traditional informational interview situation, but man, when someone with experience, who works with people to solve real world problems offers up their view on a situation like employment? It's at least worth a listen. Don't get me wrong though, I am most certainly the kind of person who will take a good paying job that does things I disagree with. The funny thing about money, is that is has a way of getting spent (since that's what it's for).

I'm not saying you shouldn't work for them; we've had some good interactions for sure, but to you I'm still some dude on the internet. Informational interviews though, cost you nothing but a little bit of time. Worth doing, for sure.
