The solution to the tithe issue is found in the book of Acts. Seminaries should turn out bi-vocational pastors so that they can meet their financial needs and also earn some money from preaching. Seminaries should teach skills and trades like Plumbing, carpentry electrical, computer software, medical assisting Etc. Or even better, they should have tie-ups with the local trade schools so that those trade schools can teach them the skills. Then no pastor needs to feel he has to compromise and insist on people's tithing 10% of their income. Then whoever preaches the sermon and not just professional pastors, but even people from the congregation, can get paid for their sermon preparation and teaching. This is completely biblical. Then the line between professional Church staff and the lay congregation will be completely removed. This is biblical.
Currently pastors are only trained in theology and languages like Hebrew and Greek. They are unemployable in the secular world. If they leave their pastoring vocation they usually end up in lawn maintenance or sales jobs that don't require training or specialized skills. The income gap is too high. Hence they should learn a specialized trade as part of their Seminary degree and requirements.
As a software professional myself I can tell you that anyone who can get through Seminary can also learn 1 or 2 programming languages and a few computer subjects at the same time as part of their Seminary training and learn the basics of software and get a job as a software QA tester at least. This will help them in the hard times.
