Maybe a coal miner is the wrong example, but I think you can think of plenty of jobs you would not want. I certainly would not want to go back to working in a call center like I did in my previous life, even if the pay were the same or slightly better.

If I could make the same money as a barista, I would do it, while continuing to program on my own as a hobby.

These days it's mind numbing Java CRUD services all day long, then I work on my own stuff (in any language but Java) at night.

Well, I can't argue with your opinion, but I certainly would not.
