The trouble with doing a low-pay career for the passion is that it's usually low pay because there are a million other people willing to do the same thing, so it actually does become a hustle.

I hear you, but I don’t think this is a fair assessment because EE isn’t a “low pay job” by almost any objective measure. I get that it doesn’t pay SWE money in many cases, but it comes across as somewhat out of touch, like saying “the problem with a Tesla is it’s a low end car” because you’re comparing it to a Maserati

You have to have some sort of scope for comparison. Here we're talking about engineeringy careers that the same person might want to do. So cleaner and sports star aren't relevant even if their pay is much lower or higher.
