Never make OSS your full time job unless the company employing you pays you for it.

OSS is a strategy, not a business model, and it is certainly not a good lifestyle for developers.

I know plenty of OSS companies willing to pay for software engineers. Why shouldn't it be a good lifestyle choice for developers?
