There are other things to optimize, and Less Wrong would cheerfully endorse your optimizing for some combination of:

  • happiness
  • fun
  • production/creation that focuses on your comparative advantages

Someone needs to do those things that the high-earning people are paying for, and if you don't think you'd be happy with an earnings-optimized career, you might be that person.
