Two White Hats Earn Over $1 Million via Bug Bounty Programs - sunjester - 03-02-2019
Quote:“He was first inspired to get started after seeing the movie Hackers and learned to hack by watching free online tutorials and reading popular blogs. In 2015, at 16-years-old, he signed up for HackerOne and earned his first bounty of $50 months later. He chose his alias ‘try_to_hack’ to keep himself motivated — he was determined to try to hack companies regardless of whether he knew he could succeed,” HackerOne said of Lopez. “He keeps the name today to remind him of how he started as a bug bounty hacker. Over the past three years of hacking after school and now full-time, he has earned nearly forty times the average software engineer salary in Buenos Aires on bug bounties alone.”

Earning money for doing something that helps people? Win-win on the rewards. I can't see what's not fun in that.
