If you're a high schooler or in college, it's a good way to earn beer money. But if you actually churn the economics, factor in gas, vehicle depreciation, drone depreciation, and total driving time, you're lucky if you're doing better than minimum wage.
If you can stack multiple jobs per day, and actually fly a 40 hour week (impossible to do because you're limited to a 4 hour flight window) and assume wind and weather are perfect you're still only earning minimum wage.
So let's call it like it is. DroneBase is a great way to fill your open mornings and early afternoons to fly your craft, do aerials, and tune your game for gas money and beer. You'll never make a living or put your kids through college. The economic model just doesn't allow for it.
