We had a college kid on a radio talk show the other day who did a study for his master's thesis. He posed as a bum, err..."homeless person"... and begged for money @ street-corners and freeway off-ramps. He claimed to make about $400 a day on average, working only the morning and evening rush hours. He said he made more in the blue-collar parts of town and less when in the affluent sections. He says he really increased his intake whenever he brought a puppy along.
If you estimate how many cars stop at the off-ramp at each red light, and figure at least one "sucker"...err...good citizen...gives the guy a buck, then multiply that hourly, it's probably $40 ~ $50/hr., no?
