Does working put you in a moral dilemma?

Maybe it sounds stupid but it does for me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. My job is just minimum wage – it's not like I'm some extreme agent of capitalism, but having to write content/produce work that encourages the corporate world and engaging in the whole culture really makes me sick. I'm so tired of it, and I haven't even been doing it that long. It makes me feel like a total sell out. Of course, I could look for a job in a different industry, but I feel like I'd be hard pressed to find anything that aligns with my morals even vaguely anyway – and it's not like the market is overly rife with opportunity right now. Especially for someone like me, who didn't even go to uni and has major mental health issues. Do you experience this, and if so, how do you…
