About 30 years ago, while attending college, I worked for and with several TV repairman. Only two of them seemed to do ok financially. One had a seperate job delivering the mail for the US post office. The other had retired from the military after 20 years and had a part time security job.

This is the reason I became an electical engineer and not a TV repairman. The pay and benefits are much better. I like restoring old TVs, but never considered TV repair as a profession.

One additional item is that all of the TV repairmen that I ever knew smoked. The older ones had health problems because of it. What is everyone else's experience with this?
