This question sparked my interest, as I have never taken the time to actually answer this for myself. So unfortunately my answer to this, is I'm not sure. I've always loved computers, I have been a software developer for 5 years now, and I love it. The joy I get when I solve a complicated bug, or the feeling I get when I write an algorithm and it works the first time. These are the small, but very rewarding, aspects of my job that I love. A lot of drive comes from compensation, but if I'm not helping a company grow by providing powerful technology solutions, then I feel my work is meaningless. This is the key for me right now, is wanting to make a difference. I know in the future, I want to be making a difference and helping people in some shape or form!
