You will help more people by trying to make money than you will by staying broke.
When you insist on “impact” you only virtue signal because learning the game is harder than saying you’re “choosing to make less to help people”.
You’re not helping more people. You’re just less skilled with an ego that prevents you from admitting it.
People don’t have work ethic anymore because there’s no more incentive.
Forget the money for a bit and do something you love.
Work ethic will come back, or for most, be born.
