Replying to Are most pro skiers happier than non- pros?

as I've learned more and more about the ski industry I realized that the while the life of a pro skier seems to be super fulfilling and fun, it probably also comes with a lot of stress and anxiety. The positive side of being a pro skier is obvious (traveling for free, skiing all day, not having to work a potentially less fulfilling job). However, The negative side Is not only is the industry low on money, but also the lifetime of the pro skiers career is often short lived. Along with this, skiing (especially urban) can be super tough on the mind and body. I feel like some skiers just got sick of getting super hurt and spending tons of times to be rewarded with a banger vid segment. (Maybe this is why alot of the stept riders stopped making segments). Being a non pro can be super sick also because of the security of having a regular job along with still being able to ski. it's not like it requires major sponsors (sponsors alone don't make skiing itself anymore fun) to keep skiing into your 30s . At the end of the day, I personally think it's worth it. But what do you think?
