it's terrible, you should be ashamed. how can anyone possibly live on that salary, which is barely twice the median HHI in these United States. Especially for a journalist, since journalism is a famously high-paying field with tons of stability and advancement.

Tech writer here with decades of experience. I make just under $100k, so I’d have to say that person is doing pretty well at 30.

This is not even a starting salary

having a job as a journalist in 2022 and getting paid is pretty much shocking at this point.

Of course, maybe the journalism major isn't working for a newspaper / news station and is a blogger or youtuber.

Stop posting these questions about whether 130k is good. Make a budget. Does it work for you? THat's all that matters, not what other people in wildly different career paths make.

what is even the point of this? 130k is a good salary for a journalism job for someone at 30. It is an extremely competitive field so getting a "real job" is a big deal, and the field tends to pay low, so 130k is considered excellent.
