I'd also want to get paid to work on stuff not meant to bring any financial returns to my employer, just to learn and pad my resume. Sounds like a sweet gig. Where do I sign up?

Lots of options

Not everything has to return money.

You mentioned only 2(grants are also academia) and most NGOs don't hire SW devs. That's hardly "lots", basically none out of academia.

>Not everything has to return money.

But then where does that money they give you come from?
