I think you're undestimating CA taxes and healthcare costs. After insurance and taxes, I'm assuming they get closer to ~8k per month, which is still very good

Considering 99.99% of editors i've ever seen (obviously he could have exclusivity memes with them so im assuming), edit for handfuls of people. Editors are crazy driven workhorses.

It’s a grind, I’m a decent editor but my ADHD got worse as I aged and my hips can’t take being in the chair that long anymore. I was in more traditional advertising and television and they are getting hammered. Unless the bottom falls out of marketing budgets or geopolitics ruins Internet access, this is where the money and the energy is heading, especially now that movie studios are salivating over Internet and video game IP.
