My subjective value judgement can still be better than yours, and its degree of truth will be seen in the years to come. The only concept you need to understand to get the truth of my statement is _order_. A "meaningful and important" job is an opportunity to impose your own kind of order on the outside world. You will instinctively know this, as a human being, when you are in this state. On the other hand, you will just as instinctively know when your job is to actually generate disorder for the rest of us, dragging everyone else down with you so you can get some small scraps from self-absorbed "important people", because you've given up on aiming for anything more significant. All the people you talk about have chosen their nation's culture as their canvas, shaping the thought of wide swathes of the population of the United States. In contrast, everything TechCrunch is known for is a gossip rag that is only read by desperate or clueless startup types whose content is generated by inner circles of bullshit work generators whose claim to fame is simply creating a vanishingly small fraction more noise on Ethernet, fiber optic, the 2-5GHz spectrum, and a few VC bank account numbers. You tell me what kind of influence you'd rather have.
