question for messengers (especially boston)

i'm sure this has been done to death but after a quick search i didn't find anything on this. pretty sick of my current job and looking to get another one and of course enjoying riding a bike so much being a messenger is appealing on many levels (and of course not appealing on other levels like no health insurance, etc. even though my current health insurance is pretty useless anyway) and i was wondering mainly how much money you make. i know it varies greatly, my coworker knew a messenger that was supposedly "very good at it" and said he makes between $30k and $60k a year depending on many factors (like how many other messengers there are in his area at the time and how much business they get etc.) i was just wondering if it is a viable option and if i can live on it. so anyone (especially in the boston area) that could tell me how much they pull down on average would be most appreciated. and appologies in advance if you've already read too many of these threads and i should have just searched harder.
