mtt question

[turnipmonster]

I am probably going to get flamed to high hell for asking this, but I was talking with a friend about this and am curious.

my question is, are there many people who actually play just MTTs for a living? (note: the following is a broad sweeping generalization based on an extremely small sample size [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) because it seems like except for chris ferguson, with most "new tourney pros" I hear about the cycle goes something like:
1) play a bunch of tourneys
2) win between 1 and 3 tourneys
3) go "pro" and play lots of tourneys
4) go broke/stop playing

it seems to me like the variance of these things is way too high to make a consistent living playing just large MTTs, but again I don't know what I am talking about. so how many of y'all are playing large MTTs with a +EV, and how many ppl are in general?
