I agree wholeheartedly. During my PhD, I did a big data compilation in my field (the fluid dynamics of certain spray nozzles), which ended up convincing me many commonly believed things in the field are false. I'm currently planning at least 3 paper on the issues I've found. This took a lot of time, but ultimately would save even more time and money if people were willing to fund it. I did the work while I was a teaching assistant and doubt many funding agencies would be willing to fund someone for a semester on this. I'd like to be a professional reviewer. The closest existing job is a patent examiner, but they incentives there aren't great either. After my PhD I intend to at least do some consulting on the side, and perhaps "professional reviewer" could be a service I could offer. Worst case is that no one wants the service.
