They still have Wealth as normal, reflecting the worth of their assets.
Exactly. Not all jobs are "roll dice, do math, collect pay based on Wealth level." Lots are "go on adventures and collect bounties, loot foes, and recover lost treasure troves." Other jobs for full-time adventurers are silly -- when are they doing these other jobs if they're adventuring full-time?
