So why didn't you - it is multi choice, not single option.
I picked about five of them, it would have been nice to order them though. (But that would make the results horribly complicated)

I should have phrased the subject line differently.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I think I was surprised at the number of people who selected money as top priority. To me this implies that their hearts aren't in what they do. I don't mean to imply that the work done isn't good code or bad, it's just that in my limited experience, those who enjoy what they do, come up with very creative solutions as opposed to those do it becuase they have to and let everyone else know how much they dislike it. (I think we all work with "that" guy)
I like money as much as the next guy, but if you're not happy or hate your job, what good is it? I'll take a little less money if it means a little less stress.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Not necessarily top priority - the survey doesn't allow that - but it has to be in there somewhere I guess. We need dosh to support us (and our expensive gadget habit)

After 5 yrs of experience, i would have wife and kids (or maybe after 2 more yrs) to look after apart from my parents. So definitely money.
Everything else can be taken care of before getting 5-6 years experience.

I've worked in places where that wasn't right, and it makes all the other things on the list matter a lot less. I was laid off out of one such situation, and it was horrible the day of the first day, but within the first week I realized it was the best thing that could have happened.
After that it's triangle between money, flexibility and project interest (or more acuratelly the project's disinterest). If it's going to be less money it's going to need to be more flexible and/or more interesting. If it's going to be less flexible the other two parts must increase.
Of course there comes a point where the project is so boring, inflexible or cheap that the other two sides can't make up for it.

Work environment, colleagues are important, since we are spending most of the day with them.

Because experience leads to being taken serious which leads to having a say in important projects which leads to more management and less developing which leads to meeting other people and being able to pick on what you work on which leads to money
Well... At least I got it (somewhat) right in my head (I think)
It's an OO world.

Money - for the wife and kids and their better life and future.
Projects that matter - why work on something that has no purpose in life but to piss people off.
Environment - Why work with retards and losers? I much rather work with like minded people who share a common goal. Nice in theory but I still work with a few unsavory souls.
Just along for the ride.

But that could be because I just moved out on my own (well a year or 2 ago) and that our future government (if we ever get one) will royally screw us over and increase tax again.
Seems after setting the world record for government negotiations, they want to go for the title of the country with the highest tax rate (again).

After a while, you should pass the point were money is your reason for working.
It is now my wife's reason for me to work.

Still single at the moment, that's one tax I couldn't afford so...
(of course since I'm changing jobs soon and that comes with a major pay raise I won't be able to use that excuse anymore )

As a contractor my priorities are very different to when I was a permie, I think it would have been useful to see the trend split by this.

amen to that. Being a contractor really changes your perspective.

Personally I would feel a failure if I had more than 5 years under my belt and was still a contractor. At some point you have to get a full time job or start your own company or the stress of contracting will surely kill you.
There is no failure only feedback

Money comes first. On top of that the contacts I make at that time. Need an opportunity to make some influences with the decisions, and finally the freedom, may be work from home.
I appreciate your help all the time...
