I started thinking what the opposite of a careerist is, and I think it's:
- Someone who can only care about one cause - you can not possibly care about animal rights, the environment, lifting people out of poverty AND keeping children safe.
- Someone who makes their money through other means, such as drilling for oil, selling fizzy drinks, letting out property or managing other people's funds. They do not devote their full-time to the charity sector.
- Someone who is not driven to succeed, to progress their career, or to earn more money.
- Someone who misleads the public by saying 100% of your donations goes to helping others.
The Telegraph might call someone like this a philanthropist. But I think we can come up with a better name.
