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?

I quit engineering at Apple to study musicology. It’s been rewarding beyond my expectations. Simply learning about fields of study that I didn’t even know existed.
