Knowledge. I received my Masters in CS last year and am thinking of either getting another one or a PhD. I didn't need my Masters as I probably could have gotten a dev job without it (my BS was in Economics) but there were things I wanted to learn (PL theory and Compilers) so I did it. I would love to be able to do one or more PhDs full time so I could just absorb as much information as I could in specialized areas. The other thing that motivates me is financial freedom. It doesn't necessarily mean making tons of money but making enough to cover expenses and not have to worry about a budget. I'm currently working on a side project/business that I hope will at least cover my mortgage and student loans each month. I have low expectations but that is what I hope and if I get more than that it would be great.
