I am someone who is deeply troubled by the amount of suffering in the world--torture, poverty, animal cruelty, and so on. I have come to the conclusion that the most effective way of helping to relieve this suffering may be not to work against it directly (e.g., by working in a charity organization) but to make a lot of money that I can then donate to others who are working on these issues. (See, e.g., this interesting article:
http://www.utilitarian-essays.com/make-money.html .) As a result, I'm considering a career on Wall Street.
I'm interested to hear what thoughts you may have on this. What would God think of this approach? In particular, does the "eye of the needle" passage apply here? Thanks!
