Just because you can make more doing something else doesn't mean that is what you want to do. Sure, they could make more at other jobs but that doesn't mean they want to do those jobs.
Personally, other jobs other than flying were never an option I truly wanted to do. Sure, I have had other jobs to support myself, but they weren't "careers", just jobs.
