  1. You learned something practical
  2. You did work and can observe the result of your work
  3. Your work is beneficial

Professional software development is now so abstracted from the real world (and other software development areas), those three are barely applicable.

    Your work is beneficial

    In my 25 year career as a programmer, I'd estimate that at least 75% of the software that I worked on never actually got used by anyone. It's incredibly depressing to think about. And that's not even counting the fact that I probably spent more than 50% of my time doing non-programming tasks like attending meetings and such shit.
