I want to have a positive impact on the communities I'm apart of by building amazing products for them. I'm specifically interested in B2C SaaS products at the moment.

That's it for now, nice and simple. I think the community part is pretty generally applicable.

Except if you are poor. I've honestly been to poor to be able to volunteer because I either worked weird hours and couldn't volunteer regularly or couldn't afford the gasoline necessary to volunteer. And I'm lucky - I didn't have children. Folks with children have it worse, though a portion says it does give some purpose. I don't know as I'm childless and plan on remaining that way.

A just-over-minimum wage job isn't really having a positive impact on the community and even if it did, you aren't treated like it does.
