As someone that lost approx. 30% of salary to do a new job, I do less money, but I am happier and I have less anxiety. Money isn't everything. Sure you need to do enough to have a decent life and eat well, but you make some sacrifice and it become natural with time

Er, no, money literally keeps you alive. By all means, demand more from your jobs if you're not being paid enough.

theyre probably being paid enough it’s just simply not as well-paying of a job. for example going from computer scientist to child care is a huge step down in pay fields but you might feel better doing it because you hated your job before and enjoy children

Nowadays most jobs aren't paid well, so it's not wise to step down any amount to pursue some interest, especially teaching, an increasingly thankless job.

i think if you hate your job and it’s making you depressed and wonder why you even get up in the morning, you should absolutely change jobs IF you have the means. it’s not worth being miserable

Yeah but was never the point. That's getting out of a shitty job, not quitting a job with higher pay to pursue some dream job.

sometimes the shitty job is the job with higher pay.

Yeah but at that point you can make that decision. The point originally was leaving a higher paying job for a potentially more fulfilling one, which is honestly crazy in today's world and really bad advice. Keep the higher pay and fund a hobby outside of work.
