The most intelligent people can usually be found engaging in work that earns above-average amounts of income, or no income.

They tend to excel at high-market work, but also pre-market work. Markets are chronically inefficient, so the truly talented are sometimes run down and wrung out, before the market even Sets a price for their labor.

The market needs a price. Many times new or novel things don’t yet have a price, or in other words, priceless.

Yes. Intelligence and income are correlated, but not strongly. Other factors are more important. Even worse for creativity.

Inventions only pay if they become successful innovations. I think that's part of the problem.

Yes, this.
