Yeah, I meant it to be inclusive of this “portfolio approach”. I agree that specialisation and comparative advantages (and perhaps also sheer motivation) can justify focusing on things that are primarily good based on one (set of) moral perspectives.
In that case, take my comment above as just long-winded agreement!
I think we could probably consider motivation (and thus “fit with one’s values”) as one component of/factor in comparative advantage, because it will tend to make a person better at something, likely to work harder at it, less likely to burn out, etc. Though motivation could sometimes be outweighed by other components of/factors in comparative advantage (e.g., a person’s current skills, credentials, and networks).
