Staying in a place where everything is stacked against your excellency will mean you will not gain excellency. Whether just bringing some money home is enough for you is only up to you, but then don't complain that you can't do anything nice, it's just whining at that point. Saying all that I don't condemn people for working in boring shitty places. At least typically they try their best anyway and make world a better place bit by bit.
