Normally when we think of doing good with our careers, we think of paths like becoming a teacher or charity worker, which often pay under half what you could earn in the private sector, and may not align with your skills or interests. Compared to switching to those careers, giving 10% of your income could easily be less of a sacrifice. Moreover, as we saw in chapter 1, once you start earning more than about $55,000 per year,44 extra income won’t affect your happiness that much — while acts that help others, like giving to charity, probably make you happier.
