DOING WELL BY DOING DIRTY WORK.

DOING WELL BY DOING DIRTY WORK. Here is the abstract of an article in USA Today which describes how a business that collects dog poop from yards can make its franchisees millionaires. The full article also described how a business dealing with septic systems pays well. I had previously posted on the argument that (other things being equal), a person does the most good for society by taking the job that pays the most because that is what society values the most. There is a trade off among money, status, interesting work and a feeling that one is doing good. We should be grateful that our society offers that tradeoff in contrast with a society where low status or low income people (untouchables) are assigned this kind of job.
