C. S. Lewis | The Inner Ring
Lewis describes the slow and subtle process of indoctrination that can take place when someone yearns to be in a position of power and prestige within a profession, one that can ultimately lead to corruption and punishment. He contrasts this with simply striving to be good at one's profession without seeking this kind of unearned influence.
-According to Lewis, the best goal for professionals is to

A) make the work itself your end.
B) endure periodic scandals and crises.
C) become one of the "people in the know."
D) maintain your image with false advertisement.
