I'm afraid you've misunderstood. My point is not that people working a regular job can't produce good art. Rather, its because true artists want to dedicate themselves to working full time at their art-which means they need to get paid for their art.
I'm willing to bet that just about every self pubber around these parts is dying for the day when they are making enough money from their "sideline" to quit working their "day job" ( or at least cut back ) and focus on their art. I wouldn't expect anything less.
