Note that you may find your career limited to fixing (simple!) bugs, tweaking UIs, and adding small features.

It's a career path that maximizes people helped rather than personal intellectual enjoyment.

I've done that kind of thing. It did not help many people, and I came to despise everything about my life. Give me some intellectual enjoyment and I'll be much more motivated to help people.

If you give a good person this job they will leave.
