The other thing to consider is, in reality, the net pay even with people that have good volume,enough hours, and normal tips is after taxes,gas,insurance,repairs,tickets,etc are deducted from the gross pay,often times it is very hard to break 30K.

50K gross is not unheard of. But to find 50k net, I have never seen it.
So in reality, the potential to make that kind of money is there.

I can accept that. However, you and I can both agree that the average pizza delivery guy doesn't take home that much, right?

Yes. I would say the average after expenses is 15k to 25k.
