Couldn't agree more.

Not everybody can nor wants to be the next Dan Abramov inventing the next game changing library in the industry. Some people just need a secure job that pays well and also get the sense of fulfillment that you are actually building/creating something (just as a carpenter would) and not just punching in numbers or trying to persuade other people into buying a product you don't really believe in, just so you can get the commission to buy that sweet new watch.

However, I would not advise anybody to get into the industry just for the sole purpose of getting paid. You'll get burnt out very quickly.
