Ask HN: Avoiding Retraining

My first love is computer science, and I've always done it primarily for the love of it - likely always will, in a least a hobbyist form. However, I feel it's time to adult and make some of that dirty word, "money".

After two 1st class CS degrees, a PhD, several publications, many deployed projects, and many years of attempts at breaking into the industry and academia, I think it's time I admit defeat on this one. As fun as it sounds, I can't convince myself at this point it would be a good idea to do another degree!

I'm guessing this is pretty commonplace, I have several friends in the same boat. My question for hackernews is, being more pragmatic than I have in the past, has anyone found a well paid career that these skills transfer over to without requiring a great deal of re-training?
