Do any of you feel like cogs in the capitalist machine?

I know devs and engineers typically get paid handsomely and usually don't complain about their job as much as other employees might. 

However, regardless you're still doing pretty difficult work to make others richer. Sure you may be making a good salary yourself, but not as much as the ceo. Does that make any of you feel like you're giving into capitalism? 

I'm not asking for political reasons, simply so I know whether this field is one that would be good for me. Thanks!

A big part of modern society is that this is true basically no matter what you do. This is something a lot of criticism, discussion, and philosophy goes into like, say, Capitalist Realism. Artists have described it as suffocating, and so on.

So, it doesn't really matter the job, a developer job is no different than others. Just go where it seems the most appealing to you. If compsci interests you, look more into it. At the end of the day, you need money to survive, and so have to do something. Might as well be something you enjoy.
