Do people actually make money from surveys?

Do people actually make a living filling out surveys online? Where is the best (legitimate) place to make money by filling out online surveys?

You're not going to make a living at it.

My wife does surveys for physical products and the such, it's neat that we can get samples of things that haven't been released yet and the such but we get maybe 5 a year at $5 each.

My daughter started doing surveys when she was at University - for someone with plenty of time on their hands and no money it's fine. She gets a voucher or cash from time to time, though it's a slow process, but a £10 voucher or £50 cash is probably worth having for a student.
