That's not really uncommon. Most sociology/psychology people do that, though often with a lot more lying to themselves about it, because its the only way you can actually have money in the field.
Its actually a pretty shitty situation, because even if you want to do the right thing and pursue truth you just won't get paid, the study won't be published, and you won't get to work anymore. Its a complete waste of time and energy.
And unlike most fields, you can't just go into the applied side to make your money. Because sociologists don't actually have a use, and Therapists make even less money.
