This was me. I went into banking because I wanted to make money and naively thought it was a harmless service industry. Cue years later and I just can't handle going to work and feeling like a bad person everyday who is pushing evil in the world, so I call it quits.

Haven't made anywhere near as much money in the decade plus since then, but I also don't wake up feeling like I'm harming my community every day, so I haven't regretted my decision for even a minute.

Yeah what I've realized over time is that while no ethical consumption (or work) exists under capitalism, specifically unethical consumption and work definitely does.

Nobody is truly 100% free of the cycle of abuse, but certain people are specifically perpetrators of it. I couldn't take being one.
