This question's gauche, but: given the prevalence of $400k++ comp packages for ~30-year-olds in Big Tech, why aren't there lots more "gentle[wo]man scholars"? i.e. people quitting to do non-remunerative creative projects I can think of some, but shouldn't there be thousands?

reading your qualifications I'm no longer they (and I) qualify: it's more scholarly and altruistic projects than strictly creative. but one left his job to build a replica of the ISS and that must count.
