I think 50K might be a bit unrealistic, but SM

I made over 40k for a couple of years but burned out physically. I think the average is anywhere from 25K to 35K, but there are a lot of variables here. This is not a profession to go into for the money, IMO. The only way to make "a lot of money" with MT is to love the job and put a lot of yourself into it.

you're the one who is unrealistic...
you've got to be kidding. To see the technology changes and all the forces aligned and to think American MT field will survive? What do you do, sitting around watching American Idol all night? You are sadly out of touch with reality, though not my desire to inform you. I was simply sharing experience with newbies. You the one who judged me as negative, pessimistic and toxic. That's like telling the doctor who diagnosed you with cancer that he is negative, pessimistic and toxic. For Pete's sake, Heartland just completely 100% outsourced to India and Spheris has gone as VR as possible, except for the crappy ESL dictators...but no, outsourcing and computer technology aren't a serious threat to the field. Tell that to the folks on the company board, why doncha?
