----- I agree with CW
First of from the way you state the question I know your not earning 6 digits on the internet and just putting a hypothetical out there.
And to that end, here's some answers to your question from someone who has for over 10 years:
First, I love what I do, and I have gotten to mentor many many up and coming people in the fields I worked in for years where they go on to be successful professionals and artisans.
(isn't that what a teacher does??)
Second, I provide salaries to hard working people so they can pursue there dreams for themselves and their families.
(isn't that important?)
Three, I maintain a mold library of Artistic work and prevent it being lost to the present and hopefully next generation
(isn't that what librarians, museum operators, historians and teachers do?)
Four, I constantly endevour to learn increase my business and work with interesting technologies to solve problems
(Don't teachers do that?)
fifth, I will not talk about Quote giving back, if one is trully philanthropic we don't talk of such things we just do it already.
(doesn't that address your morals question with out make a carreer choice?)
sixth, 5 digits, 6 digits, 7 digits... if you think about life in those terms... we already have your answer.
(isn't it just about personal ethics?)
I always loved the saying
"Those that can do.
Those that can't teach."
and the caveate:
"Those that can't teach, teach gym."
