In industry the chance you work on a project that actually makes money is probably something like 10% per job you have EVER had. People making the actual money are truly rare. Most employees are doing speculative side projects, infrastructure of the company, field support, etc., but very few are on the critical path to a product that is actually cashflow positive ... In my career of 30+ years i can claim i was making money in a profitable division that was cashflow positive for 5.75 years
