At least in most fields of engineering and natural science, your income level is probably higher after leaving academia and going to work in industry. Humanities don't maybe give you similar technical skills that would make switching over as easy, but after leaving humanities academia, you could probably learn another career that would provide better income than your academic career did. So you probably starve more is you stay in academia.
