Assuming we're talking about New York-area based LCN, given the cost of living there I would assume that if you're not making $200,000 at least then it isn't worth the effort. Of course, with much of that being tax-free income I assume, it is probably equivalent to a "straight" job that pays $300,000 after tax, and there aren't too many jobs like that out there for street guys, so maybe it's still worth it if you can earn that.

That might seem low compared to other peoples' figures but quite frankly I'm not certain that the average associate or solider is even making that.
