jobs

Okay, so this is a bit of a rant and a question. I just watched an interview where the author said that he was so glad he never got a teaching job because writers who teach end up "not really being writers anymore," or "part-time writers." I wanted to ask -- what are we supposed to do for work? Teaching is the only think I am qualified to do and the only thing that pays me enough to (almost) live on. I guess I'm wondering what y'all do for a living, especially those of you who are fairly prolific or who are able to write a lot, every day, etc.
