I thought the implication was that Roy and Vaarsuvius had spent a fortune/subjected themselves to grueling school/apprenticeship programs almost entirely because they thought that was what they were supposed to do, while actually the universe they were in would have accepted nearly any excuse for "how I got my first level in X class" and given them the same number of spells, feats, and skill points, myself.

So earning potential isn't remotely proportionate to the amount of money or effort invested in one's education?

What a wacky comedic fantasy world these fictional characters live in.

At least they get to adventure.

I see posters and advertisements and recruiters all the time who promise adventure!

If they were ever talking about D&D, I'd be in.

Class skill means you can choose whether or not to put points into it. It's a class feature, you get it regardless!

It's kind of a hybrid, like afflicted lycanthropy; there's a skill for dealing with it.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? It's fun to play an adventurer; it's not so much fun to be one. And not just because motivation is weird. We're talking about one of those jobs where you deal with seriously bad things in order to make them less bad, and sometimes that doesn't work, and also sometimes you make things even worse, and then things being even worse is partly your fault and you just have to deal with that. It's not a fun job, is my point, unless you're a particular breed of psychopath (see Belkar).
