Yes. My work is designed to make the world a better place. Each product tends to have fairly small install bases, but makes the world better for a significant number of people.

However, it's been making my life worse. I assume could make far more money with almost certainly less stress and hours helping track people around the internet and selling ads (or something equally horrible). Is it particularly hard to swap from the do-gooder life track to the "I got more money and time for toys and fun" life track? Have people gone that way or (or the other way?) Am I deluding myself?
