    Make sure your ok then do some fashionable helping out to ease your concious about chasing the money for 20 odd years.

    If your really wanted to do some good work there's plenty of low paid work doing that in health or social care or with the aid agencies or even the armed forces.
    Charity begins at home, I do contribute towards society by bringing my two kids into the world in a warm and loving environment. If this wasn't my main focus or responsibility, -then- I may have time for things like you mentioned. Other than that my time is spent in the rat race keeping as close to the front as I can manage to maintain the former.

                Yep take the hit on spelling. Amazingly though there are some rare people out there who combine child rearing and helping others either through their day job or voluntary work.
