It seems "value" is such a broad term that it will be interpreted differently (from personal achievement to financial gain to the ability to contribute to improving society). I would like to think that the research I am doing is increasing the knowledge base that will eventually has a positive impact on the health of individuals and communities, especially those who need it the most.

When I saw the thread title, I thought I might encounter some some really positive/helpful scenarios. Notice that the slightest criticism inferred from my post resulted in condemnation (name calling) by the privileged, self-centered element. I probably am in the wrong place to expect more. In real life: In Public Health, graduate students (who do not expect to make much money) express their goals of helping the less fortunate on an almost daily basis.

You already know that calling is what is important, so all I can say in addition: I would take a screen shot of the home page in case they try to change it tomorrow.

Hypothesis: Even in a "dream" scenario, there will be no indication of wanting to benefit people who did not have the same opportunities. Theory: There is no correlation between intellect and morality.
