making a great living by pushing buttons on the interwebs, most likely. many of us lose the childhood passion at some point but still can be good technologists. our interests shift over time, but discipline and the ability to get shit done means you are valuable to society, and especially to others in your field. what i really am envious of are people who take their fading passion (for lack of a better of work) passion in pure technology and judo-flip it into massive career leverage in another industry they have new-found passion or interest in.
