Can you make a living
Hey
I am 16 years old and I am interested in taking television arts at the Northern Alberta institute of tech. I was just wondering if after I finish my post secondary schooling and say start up a hunting show could I make a good living or would I have to keep my day job?.And how much do the producers of these shows make a year on average?

RE: Can you make a living
Well let's see.....I've worked with producers who have made anywhere from 30K annually to 10 thousand a day.
It depends on experience: what type of shows you do, video vs. film, MTV vs VH1, on staff or freelance, cable vs. major network, outdoor reality vs. life reality.
So--you want to narrow down the scope of your question?
Just my opinion but producers are seriously over rated in the "outdoor" industry---which doesn't even come close to paying industry standards on almost all the jobs necessary in a production.
