I understand your point. I do spend some time volunteering - but I'd like to work for a thinktank, at least for a while. It would be a good experience, assuming it is an impartial organization. Thank you for your answer.
But I would be cautious about wanting to work in the world of thinktanks and policy institutes. Thinktanks, like policy makers, are influenced heavily by the ideology of the donors who support them.
One way you could make a significant, positive impact on society (without compromising your conscience, I hope!) is to volunteer at your local homeless shelter.
Good luck!
