I was very much interested in doing research in academia which would benefit people after a long time. But after working in academia research and seeing people getting benefited right away from industrial research, my passion started drifting towards industrial research. Seeing people getting benefited from the research product you develop is really an amazing feeling. But considering long term research benefits, for example cancer cure research, are breakthrough researches which would change the course of medicine if a complete cure for cancer is developed. I feel both the type of research are important.
