I say neither. Plenty of decent people find ways to make good money without selling themselves to the devil. Personal injury lawyers are a great example, they are real-life Robin Hoods.

I hope you realize personal injury lawyers work for rich people too. Those settlements drive up insurance costs for everybody. I think that’s a pretty bad example of decent people making money.

Most of the ones who make money at it work for themselves, solo or with partners.

You'd be driving an exploding car and wearing a shirt made of asbestos if it weren't for personal injury lawyers. You're welcome.
