Which paths will you choose when you face the moral crossroads on your journey to success?

I have a clear memory of the ceremony when I first graduated nearly 50 years ago. My parents came up from Klerksdorp to be at my graduation. They were not university-educated people. But they wanted to be there partly to witness the graduation of the first member of their nuclear family to receive a university degree, but also to see the celebrities that they revered.

Maybe R. Kelly, whose musical talent is combined with a taste for underage girls? Or Floyd Mayweather who enjoys beating his wives and girlfriends as much as he enjoys beating his opponents in the ring?These people share certain commonalities.

But the moral questions will come earlier than that. Will you accept a lucrative job offer, one that offers endless opportunities for stratospheric upward mobility, from a firm which entered into a large contract with Purdue Pharmaceuticals? In case you missed it, this is the manufacturer of the opioid OxyContin, a drug that has already killed over 200,000 Americans alone.
