I agree with your statement regarding "unmotivated" people.
I'm currently working part-time at school just for fun and to have the experience of how it feels working there. This isn't a "research developer" kind of job but really IT job, developer.
Sometime it is hard to convince your boss that his/her approach was wrong in terms of software engineering point of view.
I like how people don't work overtime and sometime leave early :). Might be good to start a startup or get a consulting side-job there since there's no NDA or whatsoever to be signed (at least in my place). Plus you'll get to know in which area you should write your own software and sell it to them in the future.
