[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband makes 130k after taxes. Has a bachelors in English that he’s never used, works in film industry. His boss easily makes double that and takes 6 weeks vacation every year, never went to college but did spend some time in jail for drugs. [/quote]

It takes a loooooooooooong time to make decent money in the film industry. It can be feast or famine.

One of my best friends is a film/TV editor in LA. She's in the guild. Has been hustling in the industry for 15 years. She's not even a lead editor yet. Toiled as editor apprentice for nearly a decade. Now an assistant editor.

Good thing she had rich parents. [/quote]

I’m PP, you are correct in that it can be feast or famine but below the line production work is really good for folks who like to hustle and make decent money. My husband is in the directors guild and it did take him a few years to get in but as long as you’re not fooling around, ready to work hard, there are good opportunities for people who are not suited to traditional office type jobs. Just throwing it out there not everyone has to have a masters degree or go the corporate route. [/quote]
