many "real world" jobs have TONS of downtime whereas 1 brain fart costs us $. 12 tabling cash game would probably be like 2-5x

I agree generally, but it can make a big difference job to job. When I waited tables I can tell you that most shifts I worked had more tough, quick decisions per hour than one game of online poker for sure. And overall I found waiting tables more stressful and mentally taxing than 3 tabling stud. There's a lot of quick "time management" decisions I had to make that carry more weight than almost any decision I've made playing limit poker. And I can't say all the "smaller" poker decisions add up to something more strenuous either. I might feel different if I were a NLHE multitabler. I waited tables roughly 7 years, and am a full time poker player roughly 7 years as well. So I think I know what I'm talking about when I say that I'm pretty damn old.
