As I have said in my post, I don't think it's selling out - it's *especially* not selling out if that person feels a calling as an editor like one of my friends does.
I *do* think it's selling out if someone knows they can write for full-time hours, but in order to survive has to find some other avenue.
Likewise, I don't think many people can do art 8 hours a day like I do (well more like 5 hours a day and then 3 of networking), but for those who can but can't survive off it, and so teach instead - finding at the end of the day that they no longer have as much time for art as they want...

I just think it's very very sad.
