When I was much younger, I did the candy striper thing. In high school, I volunteered in old folks' homes. And currently, I'm in the midst of making a drastic career change by interviewing for positions working with the elderly. It's not volunteering, but to me it's the same premise. Instead of pushing papers all day like an office monkey, the job would be much more worthwhile imo. These people are essentially counting down the days. Having an opportunity to help make each minute somewhat enjoyable for them just seems honorable. Plus I'm thinking this job would allow me to come home and flop down on the couch exhausted, yet glad I have 4 functioning limbs and a brain that works like it should... sorta lulz.
