When I lived in NYC, I remember someone told me that her father's friend had a regular full-time job, but would panhandle for money at stop lights as his part-time job (and he made good money at it too) . Ever since she told me that story I side-eye every panhandler begging for money at an intersection. This may not be the case for all of them, but I think for the a lot of them it's a straight up hustle.
