As a linux kernel developer

Well, I need a genuine advice on what are the benefit of being linux kernel developer. What type of job opportunities will come along the way if I contributed to linux kernel. To say, I want to contribute to linux kernel but also want to use that skill to earn money in means of job, contract or freelance. Is it possible?

One benefit of being a linux kernel developer is that your code will be used by many people. There is personal satisfaction in such having contributed in such a way.

On a more direct level, being a linux kernel developer will mean you most likely understand how the linux programming interface works and that you will be able to create a driver. Hardware companies may want to hire you to build drivers for their hardware.
