What motivates you to take on this profession as opposed to other paths in software development/computer science?

Hey Ben thanks for asking the question, so having worked in industry as a programmer for a few years I realised it wasn't really for me. In the back of my mind I always wanted to teach.
There were and still are plenty of motivating factors one of the important ones would be making a difference in young peoples' lives. It was a sincere intention, now I get to pass on my passion for Computer Science to them.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions/comments.
