That's the thing... I've worked at many different places (startups come and go fast), and I've never worked on something that I felt very strongly about. I was always solving someone else's problems while making someone else money. If I had enough money to live, I would quit writing software for money instantly. I have a few side projects in various states of neglect and I'd much rather work on these for free than solving yet another meaningless corporate or business problem. But I can't do that yet, because I like sleeping in a bed under a roof and eating food. I get the risk/reward thing, but I think that one side has too much power and reaps too much profit from it.
