I believe a second job is exactly how the majority of authors do earn a living. Don't kid yourself that any more than a minority earn a living from their writing. (The same goes for musicians and their music).

I'm reminded of Eric Flints assertion that the biggest threat to authors is not copyright infringment but obscurity. Now that is a real threat to their livelyhood...
