Not many people would have relinquished such a well-paying job when there were so many reasons to stay on. But a friend of mine did just that. Some would have seen it as a wonderful position that offered significant stability. But he saw a major issue on the horizon. In a word, it was a question of morality.

As our society moves toward more tolerance in arenas that were once considered morally questionable, some businesses are following. This is what was beginning to happen in the sports organization my friend worked for. Laws were changing to provide more opportunities for people to gamble. This organization was just the kind of business that might take advantage of this, opening its doors to accommodate and even welcome different kinds of gambling, including online betting. 

Could my friend be a part of what he felt held major moral implications not just for him but even more for society as a whole? In the end, he just couldn’t lend his talents in a direction that, for many, has led to addiction and other unhealthy habits and conditions, so he gave up his job.
