For what it's worth, I once read a thread in Enworld about getting paid to be a DM. The only person who'd done it for pay got $11/hour from some parks and rec department to teach kids to play D&D one summer.

I am one of a group of gamers who are investigating the possibility of an running online MMORPG done pen and paper style through VTTs as a profit making venture. We are studying the economics of running such a game to determine if it could be economically viable, and that is what this survey is about - please read on. We are veterans players of MMOs as well as tabletop living games and rpgtonight's experiments in an online living game a few years ago.

Your old pal Shady here, from the living game. I sent you an email too.

Anyway, I'll bite. Answers to your questions by number:
