I read it more like "We choose to lead a meager lifestyle -- even with our tremendous abilities -- because working for someone would direct our efforts towards their goals rather than allowing us to pursue our own novel research which is fueled purely by passion for the subject."

Good thing places like Burger King are non-profits :-)
Though that was a different time, when you really had to get a job somewhere, and I see their point. Today of course it's easier to do just enough short-term work without a long-term commitment (Upwork, etc) to be functionally solvent without having to resort to fast-food.

This'll sound a little harsh, but if you have to work at burger king to fund your living then you aren't a very good hacker.
There's no lack of opportunities for those with talent.
