I agree

I agree. During my job search, I've heard complaints about programmers who are just in it for the money. I didn't realize it was so common in my profession. I suppose it does make sense, though: We can be paid a lot.

Which is too bad - we really need people who are more passionate about what they do. Programming can be very demanding and difficult, and if you don't have a passion for it, you're gonna hate it.

I therefore rewrote my resume based on the advice of an expert in my field - and made sure I included volunteer projects I've done and Open Source stuff I've worked on. I want people to know I like doing this stuff.
