Indeed there is no greater good to be found in some jobs. I have and will continue to turn down such work, even if I am offered more money than I am currently making to do them. I realize that not everyone would make the same choice for a variety of reasons, some involving economic necessity.

Most engineering jobs are not that clear cut. It is easy to get caught up in a rut and not even bother to look for what greater good can be accomplished in the day-to-day job. Remembering to do so takes work and practice. Being able to seize the opportunity can be very rewarding in ways not entirely measured in dollars. For some, it is the main reason to get up in the morning.
