Which is a damn shame for our industry, fixing bugs should be a good career path.

I agree with it. There a rare subspecies of developers who enjoy fixing bugs. The more rare and obscure, the better. Maybe they derive the same kind of pleasure as a police detective solving a hard case.

I do believe they should be princely rewarded and I would hope there would be more of these people as this will allow us the people who enjoy building concentrate on it.

I believe there was a thread on HN two days ago of a guy who enjoys fixing bugs asking how he can make a business out of it. Chapeau to him!

Bug fixing is fun and easy. You just need a good test suite.
