I will note that E.E.Smith did all his creative works as a spare time hobby while he was employed as a research chemist/executive, or after he was retired. By his own account, he made less money for more work (by the 1950's) that he would have made being a bricklayer. (He had done both!) yet, he created Space Opera, and once paperback became popular, he was in print continuously for nearly 40 years, and sporadically thereafter.
So Steve, what's your beef?
