I guess if you got the money with minimized exploitation (it will never be zero) and then used it to directly assist a revolution with the intent to make it succeed?

Can you think of any jobs that would satisfy this criteria? Obviously there are certain well-paid jobs that result in an obvious social good (e.g. doctor, dentist). However, I'm asking for myself and I don't have degrees in either of those areas - anything more general that is both well-paid and ethically acceptable?
Those jobs that are professional and provide an upper-middle class income would mean you could probably be a petty-bourgeois intellectual sympathizer of sorts or a theorist. But the Left already has enough of those types who think that just because they have a doctorate they have imminently woke consciousness. Unless you're a highly well-paid lawyer we could actually use lefty lawyers imo or doctor they amount of money you could donate to a revolutionary movement prolly won't make the difference between whether it fails or succeeds.
If you decide to go the full-Porky capitalist route at best you could hope to be an Armand Hammer-type (en.wikipedia.org
Self employment or any job you can do without employing workers to serve you, you can have a coop with them and thats it.
Also being a Philosopher, Economist, organic intellectual, artist, writer etc…
tl;dr take a job where they treat you at least half human
Do something you like first and foremost, then you can try to subvert your surroundings if you want. Be blue collar, doctor, lawyer, policeman or even fucking trader. The most important is doing something you can enjoy in itself.
There are only two acceptable ways of becoming wealthy:
There's no such thing as becoming "wealthy trought working". That is all.

Really makes you think.
Just making the point that its proven time and time again that its possible to become rich, starting from the position of a lowly worker. I picked Rockerfeller because he's the most hyperbolic example.
Okay buddy.
if you exploit everyone along the way and crush resistance
The only way to be rich and principled as a communist in a capitalist society is to become some kind of bourgeouise yourself and use your fortune to manipulate markets into crashing globally to create a good stage for global revolution.
Lol no
Here's a simple tool you can use:

All jobs are in the first category.
This raises an interesting question about value. I'm close to having completed my qualifications in sport and business psychology, but I realised close to completion that at least 75% of the work I'd do in those fields is bullshit (but the sports teams and businesses would be happy to pay for it).
So I'm not exploiting anyone else's labour, just their stupidity. I can't get on board with that, unfortunately.
Really makes you think
What if you are a highly knowledgeable and skilled Journeyman who employs an Apprentice.
Without you the job cannot be completed and the Apprentice cannot learn the trade, should not the Journeyman make more money?
You're looking at it the wrong way - that's not a single job, but two. You are producing goods alongside your apprentice and the apprentice is giving up money for the purpose of learning this valuable trade. Assuming equal production of quality goods, both would be paid equal with the exception of the costs necessary for the guidance and direct work of the journeyman to help get the apprentice's output to an equal level.
Do whatever you want, we're not fucking moralists here lol
