It is possible to combine these things
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Wall
There will always be a demand for the very best in a field, be it arts, social sciences or whatever. The problem is that the supply exceeds the demand by orders of magnitude so a lot of these people end up in financial hardship and unhappyness.
Until recently when AI started making inroads, you could make a decent career as a third rate programmer but that is coming to a brutal end. Even second rate programmers will, for a period, have career problems. I have no idea where we will end up, perhaps in a Solarpunk utopia where we can be gentleman scientists living off basic income, which will not be any worse than a postdoc salary.
