Michael - I've read many of your posts and comments, and generally agree with a lot of what you write. Regarding caring, there are two types in this industry that come to mind -- caring about the type of work you do and continually improving your skills; and caring about what the company you are working for is building and hoping it succeeds. I was referencing the first. I have also gone too far down the path of the second, to the detriment of my own quality of life. Creativity and drive to better one's self is important. Expending unappreciated/unrewarded energy for a company that isn't investing back in you is a losing endeavor.
