Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Hey Editors!  Did You Know You Are Making Six Figures?

Seriously!

This article from Forbes offers up the surprising (to me, at least) fact that film and video editors are part of that rare strata of American workers that makes….

....drum roll, please…

...a SIX-FIGURE salary!  Really! Over a hundred grand a year!

Of course, it also claims that there are only about 18,000 of us in the USA.  I gotta tell ya, if the salaries of all my editing buddies are any indication, there are two or three editors out there making over a BILLION dollars a year, and in doing so “destroy the curve” for the rest of us.

Six figures!  Yeah, right.  Are you making six figures?  Tell me about it.
