I was never really in it for the money, though that was attractive. I genuinely enjoy programming and have since I was a kid. I regularly contribute to FOSS projects (Most notably some KDE applications) and help package/maintain linux packages.
Sometimes I wish I was alive during John Carmack's days when the industry was filled with people who were genuinely passionate about programming instead of today where it's just seen as a high paying job.
