That's what I was thinking too. How can it be my CAREER if I don't get paid for doing it? The article gives no advice on how to get paid for doing open source.

That's what I was thinking too. How can it be my CAREER if I don't get paid for doing it? The article gives no advice on how to get paid for doing open source. So I think the title would better have been "Start your open-source hobby". Doing open-source will help you get a better job later no doubt but it's a bit like doing a non-paid internship in the hopes of getting through the door. Let's be realistic only people who are rich can work for free on a continuing basis. Now I'm all for working for open source if I get a grant so I can continue paying the rent. So I wish there was an article "How to get a grant to do open source".
