“Musicians are underpaid,”

This is sadly, still true, unless you’re in a city’s symphony orchestra. The guys who gig night in and night out in clubs are woefully underpaid, and most do it for their love of music and the joy of performing.

Some are, but then there are the six-figure orchestra and chorus members at the Metropolitan Opera.

True of the vast majority of artists in general.

Commercial pilots don't make too much either, unless they are very senior.

Supply and demand. A heck of a lot of people want to do art and fly airplanes.
