I work in Human Resources so a lot of salaries pass through my office. The amount you could make will vary greatly depending on your industry. Low end (education) $70k, high end (entertainment, energy, biotech) $200k.

Are you going to be a designer?  What have you been selling for 8 years?  It is also going to depend on the area of the country.  I worked as a Kitchen Designer @ HD.  The pay was not spectacular and especially considering the schedule you usually need to work.  I know 4 years ago starting pay with no kitchen experience but sales or design experience was appx. $12.00/hr,\nshortly after that it dropped to $10.00/hr in New England.  They do have a great training program so if you can get into that and then tough it out for a couple of years to get experience, other companies will usually snap you right up for much better pay.

Quite a lot, unfortunately...\n\nTo design games for general release, you definitely need to be part of a large development/publishing house. To get in, you'll need skills in programming/engineering and/or design. And you'l need qualifications in these.\n\nSome institutions are now offering courses specifially targeted at training game designers, otherwise your best bet is to take software engineering or something similar, or 3d design etc etc.\n\nOr, if you're alreayd an ace at either of the two, make a demo program of some kind and send it in for companies to look at. Be careful - copyright everything and make it clear you are not submitting suggestions but seeking employment based on your skills and telents.\n\nStart by checking who developed and published your facuorite games- look them up on the net and see if their sites have a "jobs" or employment" section. If not, look for contact details and mark it "human resources" or something like.\n\nHope that helps!

how much do you make?

i say that you should do something that you would love doing for about 12 hours, 5 times a day, for 30 years. If you prefer gaming more than art, than you should do game designing.

The norm is between $20-30K, but as long as you are creative, even a modest budget will do.

Try the website Salary.Com. It will help you with both the job description/ title as well as how much their wages should be within any major locations.\n\nThis site helped me get an "A" with a serious software engineering essay that even gave me a chart on the job demand increase/ salary and expectations within that job area.

Depends on where you are planning to work and how much experience.  But i think it's between $10-15/hour.  It's a good starting place but if you can work you're way to a designer (through experience or classes) then you'll be making a lot more.

I believe that the industry average is about 45-55k the first year, and over 100k after about 3 years. But this can vary greatly, and most of that industry is relient on how good you are at it. There are also high failure rates, and of course you need to be able to fund your life during the first few months. Very few companies have salaries for such a position, and if so it is marginal at best.

The usual way that it's done is to calculate it the same way that overtime would be calculated. If you worked 40 hours/week, then that's 2,080 hours per year. Your annual salary would be divided by 2,080 to get an hourly rate, then multiplied by 32 hours (assuming 8 hrs/day x 4 days)

A pitiful 15,000 to 18,000 (USD) a year.  It's only when you get serious seniority that the pay rolls in.\n\nSee the Salon article listed below for more information.

check out salary.com. This question is hard to answer without knowing where you live, your experience level, and details of the job. Salary.com can help with that, but be aware their amounts are usually inflated somewhat.
