Okay - I grant you that economics is a positive-sum game, but charitable work is not different from other work in this way.
Drawing a salary from working for a nonprofit organization isn't (by your argument) more benevolent than drawing a salary from working at a for-profit organization.
Of course. The only reason to prefer working for a nonprofit organization is if it happens to be the case that the job where you think you can make the largest positive difference, is only being done by nonprofit organizations (or if only that kind has an opening for you).
