started at 72k. Make my own hours, get paid extra for any time over 40. I also started with full benefits, 401k matching, and 5 weeks vaca.
Happy I did not take the first offers I got right out of college.

35k. It was shite money but the opportunity to make 6x that was there. I don't make near 6x that but it was the right decision.

I love working with numbers so it's great. I planned on doing product marketing but that's pretty lame at my company. Get to travel to Asia and Europe a lot which can be fun but suck also

its terrible. everyone assumes its glamorous when its not. first thing I tell students that reach out for advice is to be prepared to make very little money - in a way its good because it weeds out the people who just want to be on tv, but it's pretty bad just starting out. the longer you're with a local station the better it gets, but entry level is terrible. i still havent made anywhere near what most of my friends make in their respective jobs.
