I read your piece on Vox the other day, thank you for writing it! It's something I have been putting a lot of thought into, and had decided that whether it was "helpful" or not, I wanted to do more service work. I feel like your essay pushed me over the edge.

I love this take! I saw something recently from a website that helps people find high impact do good jobs that they don’t recommend teaching as a “high impact, do good” job because you only influence a small amount of people and don’t have a huge impact. Even though education is one of the most important things to a young persons life…..

I think the emphasis on systemic and policy change make things seem really hard and impossible. Sometimes it’s just nice to do good things and be in service to others on a personal level. Thanks for the article :)
