Business is about money. You want to make an impact on the world? Go into something other than business: volunteering, activism, organizing, politics, any of that stuff.

I strongly disagree.
Ford, made a huge difference in the world.
Apple, huge difference.
Microsoft, huge difference.
The original AT&T, huge difference.
Key decisions by individuals at those companies have had more impact on the world than most of us can ever hope to have in politics or through volunteering or any other activity, and though at least partially technical merit, it is possible to get into a position to be the one making those decisions (which often time can consist of nothing more than a developer making wise well thought out choices in a design!)
Corporations are huge force multipliers, capable of pulling of feats of engineering that small teams just do not have the resources to do.
