My closest compsci friends are all employed by either big companies working on their backend or by "young hip" companies doing web solutions for the local tobacco companies and the like. Anything that I would like to do would have to (subjectively) help humanity as much as research/teaching; and getting jobs like these either requires a whole lot of dedication (leaving your family behind, moving to Asia/Africa) or a lot of connections (governmental public good jobs are rare for compsci people).
