There are very few jobs in which you could make more than

I happen to know a few other people who have suffered crippling
accidents. Financial and psychological devastation is the rule and the
mere fact that Tom is able to compose in English and plunk a keyboard

Agreed 100%. On the flip side, it's unseemly to spend too much time
patting oneself on the back for one's own good fortune, and the
superstitious part of me screams that it's just got to be bad luck.
