If you asked 100 computer science majors why they chose CS they would all tell you it's for the money.

For real! I remember when I got my undergrad in CS I thought there would be a maybe a 50/50 split between dorks and check-chasers but it was more like 20/80. That was 10 years ago, I can only imagine it's 1/99 these days. I'm sure there are some real turbo-nerds who want to make magic with the computer, but it's like you said too much money on the table to NOT be a code-goblin for some MEGACORP.
