But is it ethical?

As the small numbers of followers I have know, I am deeply opposed to all of the pseudo-scientific (why do we call it that?  pseudo suggests that its similar to, or appears like, science.  It doesn't.  Anti-scientific, anti-rational, pro-stupid would all be better terms).

I digress.  I am deeply opposed to all of the psuedoscience quackery out there - be it naturalpathetic "medicine", CAM, homeopathy, creationism, anti-vax lunacy, and so forth.

But I also have to live in this world, and part of this world is paying the bills.  This hasn't been an issue to date, but the wife and I are looking at having a child soon, and buying a house.  Needless to say, we need more cash, and we need it quick.

I've been hawking my skills as a technical writer (I know, my blog doesn't read like I have a grasp of the English language, but I can be quite literate when I need to be), and my wife has been looking for additional lab-tech type work.

Recently, she applied to a quackfest of tomfoolery.  To protect the guilty (i.e. her potential future employers) I won't say who/what they are/do, but needless to say its about as scientifically valid as flat-earthism.

Which raises an ethical dilemma: is it ethical for a rational, intelligent person to knowingly work for a company whose product/service preys off of those who are neither rational or intelligent?

I guess what I'm asking is if it is OK to fleece stupid people?

I'm on the fence - I feel that I should support science and rationality in all aspects of my life.  But then again, stupid is as stupid does, and money from stupid people is just as green as money from intelligent people (and damned easier to get).  My wife falls on the side of "who gives a f__k, we need the money".

I think my wife holds the correct position...
