There's more to programming than just the web. There are embedded systems (where C is alive and kicking), telephony (where I work writing test cases for call processing for some new cell phone features---a mixture of C, C++ and Lua), scientific (C, C++, Fortran; possibly other languages I'm forgetting), big data, games (non-web based) and probably more areas I'm forgetting about.
For me, I have my day job in an area nearly unrelated to my interests. That way, I have the freedom to work on my own stuff at home (and yes, this has been cleared with work in any case), which includes fringe operating systems like Synthesis OS (http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/) and even Sparrow OS (http://www.sparrowos.com/ ---just becuase the author is schizophrenic doesn't mean his work has no merit).
