I think it's different for every person. Someone might do a job that most people wouldn't, because it's all about the Benjamins. Someone else decides to be a social worker, which requires a masters and doesn't pay a lot, because she cares so much about helping others.
Poker players are no different. They make their job decisions for all sorts of reasons. More than a few poker players dropped out of college or quit a "regular job" because they were making more playing poker on the side.
A few years ago I read a post from a single mother. She made her living playing online while her kids were in school. It was her dream job, not because it made her rich or because she loved poker (either of those could have been true but neither was mentioned in her post) but because she could could choose her own hours, make a decent living and be there for kids whenever she was needed.
