Not a lot, but 4K a month is not exactly meager.
- jfengel 4y agoExcept that it only applies during the baseball season. And that top figure would apply to only a few weeks of that season. It wouldn't be possible to make $48k a year out of it -- probably no more than a quarter of that. That's pretty meager. At the very least you'd need a job in the off-season, and it would have to be a job you could drop during the season.

- kurthr 4y agoExcept that it's a part time job without benefits, you can't hold it full time by definition. It's like being a ski bum for 3-4 months.
