Now before I ask my question, I know there is no "set" valeu, and I know there are a lot of factors that need to be looked at closely. But, from talking, I was asked a question, and i didn't really know the answer to it...or even have a vague idea...
If one goes to college for sound engineering, learns the art well, and progresses as an engineer, what would be a good range of his likely income. Throwing all factors aside, just a ball park rough figure. Is it enough to support a family on (supposing that business is flowing well).
I guess the big question is, can you be a sound engineer, and even if you don't mix any big shot's music, still be able to support a family and not worry about welfare? Is there a better chance if you own your own commercial studio.
This issue has been brought up quite a few times by my family, and granted there is nothing and will never be anything set in stone, but what are the likelihoods of supporting a fmily on an engineers/studio owners salary?
