That's a bit vague

I have a PhD in math and went into VR. I'm very well earning for a wagey. Machine learning is also good. In fact, the $/work ratio if you know a tiny bit of statistics and some python is pretty disproportional

you don't, you do it because it's more fulfilling than wageslaving in some computer """science""" job. if you're smart you can find ways to make money on the side, or transfer to industry and unironically make the $300k meme in something like Oil&Gas or finance.

Brush up on organic chemistry.
Start synthesizing D-lysergic acid diethylamide.
Refine the process. This isn't bullshit garage chemistry like methamphetamine. That's why no-fucking-body is doing it anymore, since they wiped out the one major manufacturer in a midwestern silo quite a while back.
So long as you can find a quiet way to connect with a distributor, you'll both make a mint.

>patronage
Patronage also comes from being part of companies with huge cash pile such as Google / Facebook. Remember private research is disproportionately high compared to grant-based university research.

Pro tip: If you look at history patronage and being rich allowed you the luxury of doing "blue sky" research. So If you are already wealthy, science can be a nice passion. If you are not, you have to navigate science/STEM very carefully in order to no to to fall in that "hungry poet" problem. A wise man once told me - "I could have been a fantastic physicist and I knew it I could. But I have chosen Accounting instead. Initially I hate it to its core. But slowly I began to appreciate the stability and cash-flow it provides leaving me ample time to work on my SciFi novels as a side hustle". Eventually he became a successful novelist and still writes at his 70s. (He is not a native english speaker.)

As someone moved from tech to Nutrition, this is a most viable alternative to take detour into medical field at a mature age. Currently I practice as part of a clinic, but plan is to start own clinic with few nutritionist/psychologist partners. With adulterated and bad food / continuous stress / chronic disease management, quality nutrition and psychological clinics are here to stay. In my 14 years of stressful tech (have spent few years in SV) career, never felt so comfy about future. If you end up choosing this route, get a suitable accreditation.
