Upon graduation the position I would realistically expect to find would be that of a video/film editor. This is a field with a wide variety of salaries, and in my research I found that of the positions advertised (which almost certainly the top tier of the field is not) there is a range of $14.50/hr (US) to £28,000/yr (UK). The positions were for various agencies, and depending on their level of media involvement they required permanent, staff editors, and part-time workers for only 3 weeks. In television there are usually staff editors that work on the series, and in film, though a studio can have permanent editors, they often only hire freelancers for the duration of the project. Editing is usually done daily as the episode/movie is filmed, so if there is extensive on-location shooting the job requires some flexibility in travel, but not for extended periods of time. In order to get any editing position, I would require a reel of some of my work, which is something that begins in the work done as a student and grows after every job that I have.
