You have actually argued my point for me in your description.
Like you said, Mr Monopoly is a capitalist from all conceivable angles.
Someone working in the education system is there to impact the system, not because it's going to make them rich.
To have any influence over the attitudes of the youth within that system, they have to be present there.
If he's only interested in the money, there are plenty of easier jobs that pay more.
It doesn't make someone a hypocrite to be forced to rely on a system that they disagree with.
It's naive and idealistic to suggest otherwise.
