Thanks Neel for sharing your personal experience! I can see how this would be a concern with promoting earning to give too heavily.
However, Michael’s post advocating for promoting earning to give, it’s about promoting effective giving. This is a really important distinction. GWWC is focused on promoting effective giving more broadly to the wider public and not focused on promoting earning to give as a career path.
Promoting effective giving outside the EA community helps fund important work, provides many people with a strong opportunity to have a big impact, and also brings people into the EA community.
