As a last resort, would you work a job you were morally against? -

I ve been thinking about the economy lately and how so many people are getting laid off. Makes me wonder if more people will start doing anything to earn money of if they will stick to their morals.|::::|Once it s not about living but about surviving, I think morals go out the window. Come and ask me again once things get really bad (if they do).|::::|You mean like a telemarketer? I ve done it. When you get to an place in life wherein your mommie isn t able or willing to wipe your bottom and you have to rely on yourself to earn the money you require to live in a house or apt (as opposed to under a bridge or in a welfare lodging) you learn to do whatever is legal to get by. Hey, before the economy gets bad, go take a trip down to Haiti and see what it s like to be poor. Then come back to the states and thank your god you have the opportunity to call people when they re eating dinners to sell them insurance. Is this a great country or what? :-)|::::|There is not much I am morally against. Take selling drugs for example; people are always going to want drugs and if you don t sell them then they will just go to someone else. It is their life anyways, so I would sell them if I had to, but the reason I don t is because you can go to jail but it is easy money and I do not think of it as wrong especially something like weed.|::::|It s a sure bet more people will resort to crime. Didn t we have a famous crime wave in the 1930s on account of the Great Depression? I can already see it happening. Street people, banks and insurance companies are scamming people more than ever. I m supposed to observe Kosher dietary laws, but I suppose I ll work in a pig slaughter house if I have to.|::::|it depends. if i knew that it was a short-term stopgap to alleviate a desparate situation, i might do it. but i would not undertake a career of which i was ashamed. after all, that s what it really means to be demoralized: not just discouraged, but forced by circumstance to set aside your moral code.|::::|No. I d rather starve. Twice I came across a time in my life when between jobs I could have been a debt collector and a person who visits with the bailiffs. No, I d rather starve and almost did till I found a new job.|::::|I sold kirby vacuum cleaners once when my mother and i were in danger of losing our home. I went to confession and the priest said to keep my job and look for a better one because my mother was depending on me. This was 1987.|::::|Yes Im in a tight money situation right now and I was weighing my options, I would do what I had to, to make ends meet. I would have to put my morals and pride aside, but things are tough out there right now.|::::|It depends on the job. For instance, I would NOT be a baby seal clubber. However, I WOULD work at Comiskey Park (a.k.a. U.S. Cellular Field) even though I m am morally against the White Sox and would much rather work at Wrigley! ; )|::::|It is easy to say no here, but one would have the correct answer when one is really pushed into that condition.|::::|No I would not.|::::|Sure, but only if it paid extremely well.|::::|it depends how bad against my morals and how much money.|::::|I don t think I m pretty enough to pull that off. My avatar is though.|::::|no|::::|of course not
