I'm willing to compromise a lot of my values in order to make money, mostly because I realize the only way to challenge some of the unethical things that bug me in this industry is to make more money to have 1) the resources and 2) the "respect" to make or influence positive changes.
There's the whole battle/war dilemma. Sometimes you have to take strategic losses in order to stay in the game and get ahead. I see a lot of people who refuse to compromise at all on ethical issues who get absolutely nowhere because they're so busy trying to control their image and conduct themselves with integrity that they make no money and are extremely ineffective in making positive changes in line with their ethics. Bitching and resisting don't go very far in promoting your agenda.
At least that's what I try to remind myself.
