I won't speak for sjay, but I know for some people, poker simply isn't rewarding enough for them... I'm not talking financially rewarding, but just in general. Some people want to feel like they are contributing to society in some way, and poker alone is not a way to do that.
For me personally, I've found a happy medium by doing some volunteer work. To be all poker, all the time - I couldn't live like that. I see what that does to people (I'm speaking mostly about live players - it's harded to tell how well rounded online players are) and I wouldn't want to be one of those people.
