ESRI Business Partner Conference Closing, Palm Springs, CA

Sitting and listening to business and sales discussions. Working in this business environment yields $$$ for material luxuries. Sure, one can "feed his family" but something makes people work much harder than is required to attain that goal. Is it greed? Without some higher purpose of contributing to the higher good, what else can drive a person. This meams of making a living seems incredibly hollow to me.
