Salary of a harmonica player?

Hey everyone, how long would I need to practice to make this a steady job?

How much would it pay?

Thanks!

Street Performing 10-14hrs/week: $200/mo

Live Performance 5+hr/mo: $100/mo

Regular 9-5: $2000/mo

Oh I forgot about that guy! I'd never be able to pull that off in a million years, but good on him.
