I'm pretty sure many people would gladly take a ~$5k per month job doing something they love with no boss.

  Less would take a ~$2500 per month job (it’s two people).

    I seem to remember them saying Zach did mostly other things nowadays, but I can't find a link. $30k per year each is still pretty good tbh

    That's roughly first year school teacher income level, or parish priest stipend level. I think Tarn was a grad student before he got his doctorate, and $2500 would not be a pay cut; assuming that grad students loved their field at least once upon a time. Per capita median personal income in the USA is right around that level, so 50% of the population earns less, while being statistically unlikely to love their job. If half the country hates their lower paying job, they have little to complain about in a relative sense.
