External circumstances don’t turn an immoral action into a moral one. You can never make up for the harms you do in the world. The circumstances you describe sometimes exist but more often than not, there is a choice, but we lack the courage to acknowledge it even exists.
If you became disabled, and suddenly you COULDN’T do the immoral job anymore, well by god, you’d likely find a way to survive. So…
Or maybe you will not survive, we can play with woulds and shoulds all day here.
