And to give a better answer, academic world really doesn't offer me anything I'd be actually very interested, except programming. It only happens to be, that it pays pretty well also. I wouldn't do it only for money. Otherwise I could just go and sell my butt for rich Japanese business men who want to do the freaky.
But it's definitely not a turn off for me. I like money. It's not the #1 goal in my life, but it gives me the security I like, since you never know what's going to happen, it's always good if you have money. Plus, I don't know if I'm a big spender, I think I'm not a big spender even with lots of money, but I'd like to provide for my kids and family if I ever manage to get them, so they won't be left out of anything that is important.. I got good support and all I needed, and it's my duty to do the same for my kids, anything else would be a personal failure, and I hate failing. Programming is also ever fast developing area, it interests me in all its forms and it gives me stimulation to my brains. Programming doesn't mean you can't do anything else, that's just a stereotype. It's like saying all boxers likes to eat babies because Mike Tyson likes it. Well, I'm pretty sure not all of them want it, and the same goes for people who enjoy programming and challenges it brings. It's problem solving, and that's fun.
And not to be all off topic and spamming, my blog is coming off just fine, I've been writing every week to it, so when I finally put it online, there should be something to actually read. Naturally it's a fake and I've written it so, that it seems like it's been online for a longer time and that I have a fanbase already, I'm thinking big, I'm thinking Randy Berliner t-shirts, or designing competition where you can enter your own t-shirts designs for Randy Berliner shirts and the winner design will be then made.
If nothing else, I make one for myself, so there's nothing to lose, and if someone wants to buy some cool pornstar t-shirts, the real Randy Berliner flavour... all the better.
edit: besides, how cool is it to have my own pornstar t-shirts???? People go 'hey who's that guy?' pointing at my shirt and I just say 'maybe the coolest dude who ever lived'. They'll never know what I mean..
