I know, as a PR hack, that a significant portion of the work I do is complete and utter bullshit that doesn't benefit society. So when I get an email from a principal saying the stuff I wrote for them is genuinely helping them communicate a decision to parents, I get a nice buzz of pride and accomplishment.
This is also why I can't really imagine doing this job in the private industry. I feel like I'd just be trying to convince people that decisions that put people over profit are good.

Erm...I said that last bit backwards. Decisions that put people over profit ARE good. But I feel like, if I worked in the private sector, I'd be trying to convince people of the opposite.
