My interests in C, compilers, small computers and Unix at the time wasn't driven by career aspirations. I was just genuinely interested those things. Maybe I was "unemployable".
Meh, I'm down with that. I would be a much richer man today had I chosen more wisely. But I would not be a happier man.

Despite my comment to the (somewhat) contrary, as long as you're not specialist in BeOS or the like, in software you'll almost always make money doing what you like to do. Again, whatever ends up winning, the abstractions and concepts you pick up will generally prove useful where ever you end up. You might not be raking in the Benjamins like your SAP buddy over there pulling down $350K/year, but you'll be relatively wealthy and happy.
