University IT, here. It doesn't pay anything close to what the private sector pays, but I've seen firsthand the good in the community and to society that my university does, and I feel like I'm actually making a difference and an impact. Feels so much less soulless than working enriching a faceless corporation.

Benefits are nice too.

I have the same experience working in the public sector. Doesn't mean I never get burnout, but I honestly can't imagine working in most of the IT industry these days.
