You get paid 500 an hour. What career would you STILL turn down for this price?

8.9 million a year? That's a lot of cash in some fields, others not so much. I turned down a job for Big Pharma that illegally works with the FDA/DEA/BOP to prevent the old and the poor from importing equivalent genertics from overseas at a fraction of the cost. 8.9 million still wouldn't get me on board. There are just certain things a sense of ethics has to take over that no dollar amount can purchase. It's a difficult questions that reminds me of a quote from someone I otherwise don't like, in the case of Jacobellis v. Ohio

Potter Stewart's concurrence, holding that the Constitution protected all obscenity except "hard-core pornography." Stewart wrote, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

Ironically this is also a guide line in the Terms and Conditions of Apple Corps App Development TOS.

A friend of mine wanted to create an app off all the single person locking bathrooms in Portland where it was safe IV drugs. It didn't pass the test. We would have happily taken that 8.9 million.
