    I thought there was a thread or maybe we went over it in senior portfolio about what we should expect for salary amounts in SA or Texas in general.

      Okay, I'm moving this to the "Is There Life After UIW?" forum.

      ... and to answer your question generally: It depends.

      If you are looking for a Print/Web job in SA, you can expect to start anywhere from the low-mid $20k upto high $20ks and low $30ks. If you leave the city that might go up a bit.

      According to this AIGA survey from 2003, here are the numbers for an Entry Level Designer (nation-wide):
      Position: Entry-level designer
      25%: $26,000
      Median: $30,000
      75%: $35,000
      Number responding: 661

      If you think about it in terms of $$$ per hour...
      $10.00 p/h = $20,800
      $12.00 p/h = $24,960
      $13.50 p/h = $28,080
      $15.00 p/h = $31,200
      $20.00 p/h = $41,600

      In SA, starting around $12-14 an hour is about right... then take out taxes and SS and all that fun stuff, but that's depressing.

        Man, sure has gone down. I've got old books from 98/99 that say double that amount. Sad times we live in. And the old 3d books say 35-80k.. and animators making a litter bit more than that. A thread like this pops up on cgtalk everyone once and a while and what is said is not very encouraging. Wheres the sunshine Adam? :confused:

          Did those 98/99 list starting salaries or just salaries?

          Remember those that Mike list are generally for people just getting started. In any job, the money gets better as you get better. As you prove your worth, companies will pay more to have you.

            Goto gamasutra.com

            I saw a thread in a forum in Gamasutra and a number of related articles regarding industry salaries for a number of different, but realted fields. These salaries were based on an actual census of all of the current IGDA members as I recall. That's a lot of people. I would imagine that it was pretty acurate as well.
            I will try to find a link and post it so you can see for yourself.
