Everybody has their price.
No they don’t.
I could earn double my low salary, as a software developer, working for say a gambling company, but I’d rather make less and not propagate misery from predatory industries.

Bullshit. I prefer being able to sleep at night over being rich.
It's not about what they could give you, it's about what they could take away.

I'd make way more money in defense. I've actively avoided it in my career. I spent one summer at LM as an intern. Never went back.

Looking at how badly I am getting down voted, I am afraid to say anything too controversial. I have probably been reported several times for being correct.
Correct about what? I said I'd never sell my soul. I'd never put myself in a position to be targeted in the first place.
Sure, my price is making enough money on my first day there to solve world hunger.
