- Job Growth (8% writers & authors, 12% producers and directors, 5% advertising and promotions managers)

Sounds pretty good right? the part that's missing is that the placement rate of "Film and Media majors" into these fields.
- steveBK123 5y agoRight, the more important stat is if/what the school publishes for - % employed at graduation and average salary. My school had this online in the 90s, though I suspect many hide this now.

The average starting salary for a film and media studies is $22,656 per year. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27828557 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27828557 Now, given 2087 working hours in a year, and $15/hr, that yields an annual pay of $31,305. 50% MORE than a FAM studies college graduate. All with a few seconds of effort, with a device in everyone's pocket.
