I have done CD Cover artwork using POV, but this has only gotten me a few free 
CDs and free stickers - nothing to quit my day job over, especially considering 
that it wasn't for a major label.  I have another friend who is orders of 
magnitude more successful than I am with his CD artwork (not POV work, but this 
is only for comparison) and still has to be the webmaster of 5 different web 
sites to be able to pay his bills.

Unless you managed to be extremely good and managed to land yourself a gig with 
a major company, I don't think this would be a valuable option.
