You’re allowed to get into tech for the money

I can’t stand the virtue signaling.

You don’t need a deeper altruistic reason for wanting to start a career technology.

You don’t have to be passionate about coding. It’s actually better if you’re NOT Cyber Batman.

You can be just passionate about paying rent. About putting food on the table. About sending your kids to better schools. About being able to one day retire. About being able to afford a Disney vacation once a year. About being able to retire your wife. About not checking the price at the pump. About not having to hunt for deals at the grocery store. About spending an extra $10 to have your coffee delivered to you on a Saturday without feeling guilty.

Life is expensive. And it’s not getting any cheaper.

Go start a career that pays well enough that you can really enjoy it. That, my friends, is reason enough.
