I would say my job is a societal wash - neither negative nor positive once all the factors I can think of have been considered.
To be honest, you are doing better, in that case, than in most jobs under capitalism, which provide clear social negatives. Generally, the higher paying, the more detrimental to humanity, though some people will do a socially harmful job just because it's more interesting than the alternatives.
That may be true, but bear in mind that my calculations are pretty limited -- hence the caveat about "the factors I can think of" =)
Meanwhile, I don't disagree with the rest of what you said. I'd just hoped to be doing more.
