Our specialized listing of "jobs with meaning", new this week, is exactly in that line. We've worked hard to dig up jobs that directly help humanity. Our search engine finds tweets with the #meaningfuljobs hashtag, among other sources. Also, employers post their ads directly.
I think plenty of people want to get more out of the old 9-to-5 (or is that "10-to-7"?)--but the sense that your job helps people is a big boost.
On the other side, employers who can offer "meaningful jobs" should be touting that more vigorously. What a great draw for talent!

We software developers get good pay, we're not going hungry. Challenges are important, but it's not too hard to find that if you look.
It's worth looking for a job that makes you feel good as you do your work.
What's with the greentech/meditech/charity work?
