Professionals were once amateurs that didn’t get paid.
I think the OP is driving this exact point. “Pros get paid,” is EXACTLY what a quitting-amateur sounds like. Doing the work consistently when the reward is far is what makes you a pro. Amateurs tend to not see so far ahead so skipping or quitting seems like the reasonable thing to do.
