How about employers who don't pay their employees a living wage, or people in charge of large companies who use what basically amounts to slavery to produce inexpensive goods for developed countries? I know these aren't "careers," but there are rich and powerful people who make careers out of exploiting other human beings (and it's all legal).
Eh, business end. I'm no good with that. As much as I'd rather not be a lackey, it looks like I don't have much of a choice. Hopefully, though, if I become trusted within a company (say major military-industrial contractor) I get to take on some administrative roles at a senior level, in addition to programming and number crunching, which is what I
am good at.
That sounds good actually. The military-industrial complex is probably right for me. No abuse of power is complete without some kind of conflagration or toxic byproduct.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is the political will in the US anymore to have another conflict like the Second Indochina War (a.k.a. Việt Nam War). It could very well be that I may have to move to a different country, learn a new and difficult language and essentially lose my free speech just to have a decent career!!
