re: How much do lobbyists make?

This is an obviously nonspecific question. Its like saying how much do baseball players make?

Well those that aren't professional make little.
Those that are professional usually make little.
That that play in the majors make more.
Those that play in the majors and are successful make a ton.

I imagine that is like lobbyists. Many make little to nothing. Then there are different levels of lobbyists. Local lobbyists don't do great. But they don't do it full time. State level people make more. Those on the national level make even more. Those few who are successful can make a ton.
