Different scenarios: 1. Someone is trying to make lots of money and doesn't care about the ethics of doing so.
2. Someone is intensely in love with the idea of helping other people, sees the value in it, and decides that there's nothing wrong with making a very good living at it.
3. Someone wants to make money first and foremost and yet has found an effective way of making money
and providing value at the same time.
