I have a writing gig, and I also teach, so Steemit is a good deal less than full time for me. But I can easily see how it could become a lot more than that. If STEEM goes up another .50 or so, it will become my fourth-largest writing-income-earner for the year, and I only really worked at it from May to August. If any of my other full-time gigs were to fail, I'd be here a lot more and do essentially what you said here. Solid post.
