OK, too many main jobs, side jobs, gigs and I've completely lost the thread…

In With a Little Help from my Friends, Panam turns to you and asks "Why are you doing this?" and I can't remember! This playthrough I'm female V, so there's no romance with Panam and she's already shut down V's attempt. So what is my in-game storyline reason to continue to hike out to the badlands and do Nomad jobs?
