Student developers were polled via 80 spring 2016 hackathons to asses how they feel about their career options. Some of the key finding were:
- 83% of students said they were looking for fulfilling careers, rather than simply for jobs.
- Students plan to stay an average of 2.9 years at their first full-time job.
- Students predict that they'll stay at later jobs for 5 years on average.
- Students expect to earn between $70–150K right out of school.

There's no such thing as a fulfilling job. You will always work for an asshole. If you think your job is an exception because your boss isn't an asshole, start polishing your resume up because that company is going under due to poor management. Go for the money so you at least have something to show for it.
Seriously though, fulfilling jobs can only be held by exceptionally well adjusted individuals. And they're extremely rare. It's not the job that makes it fulfilling, it's your attitude.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
