It's too bad there isn't a negative category in there... I don't do enough mapping to even pay for the tools that I use to do it.

My brushes with paid cartography mostly are in my role as toymaker for others with a very rare bit of paid work. Some of the toys pay reasonably well, but the vast majority of my income is from helping one group of people kill others with minimal collateral damage. A bit of that work involves GIS work that could be called cartography if you're willing to stretch things a bit.
