It's easy to be critical of those in edtech who went to work for the big companies and made 'house money'. But we need to be clear that a refusal to 'sell out' is made possible only with a certain level of privilege and security; "You don't turn down a job during the Great Depression." These are questions I've wrestled with my whole life. I've always worked for 'the company' whether it be the college, the university, or the government. But while I've always worked with one hand for the company, I've also dedicated one hand 'for myself', and it's with that second hand I've held on to the work worth doing, the values worth preserving.
