Earnings Potential
There is a very wide range of salaries one can potentially earn with a film and theater degree; the median 50th percentile of stage, motion picture, and television directors make $30,000 annually, according to 2008 HR surveys. Those involved in "smash-hit" films, television, and theater programs can make upwards of $100,000 annually - however, aspiring directors and filmmakers may have to endure staggered periods of employment and unemployment.

Film and Theater Facts at a Glance
Though it may be hard to believe now, it was not long ago that film & theater professionals were looked down upon as second-class citizens. High society shunned actors and actresses. It was people at the fringes of society--new immigrants, Jewish ones in particular--who made up the bulk of the filmmaking professionals at the dawn of Hollywood. Today, the film and theater industries are highly glamorized. The entire culture has its gaze set on actors and actresses, following every twist and turn in their lives, from break-ups to pregnancies to face work. An actor's arrest, something that once would have been buried or ignored, is now front-page news across the nation.
