Re: [LAD] What do you do for a living?

Hi all, I understand that a lot of you develop for free software and are passionate at what you do. But how do you pay the bills? What do you do for a living? Are you a student? Do you do software development just as a hobby, or do you want to make a living doing this kind of work? The reason I ask this is because I am curious about what kind of backgrounds a free software developer has. As for me, I am a student majoring in Music and minoring in Computer Science. I got the idea of writing this email, actually, because Google had an internship panel at my school. Google just loooooves open source and those involved. It sounds like Google has quite a friendly and cooperative working atmosphere, and they treat their employees very well. Yeah, I'd like to work for Google, but who doesn't right? :)
