It really depends where you are as salary varies widely with location. That
said, I haven't know too many people who have started that high. I started
at a small fraction of it in the Midwest. Remember there are a lot of
people who want to get in to games so the employers are at a negotiating
advantage with new talent. Later on, after proving yourself invaluable, the
negotiating power swings in talent's direction - as does salary. The bigger
studios might flirt with that amount as a starting salary, but rarely hire
raw artists. You would be lucky to get much more than half that at smaller
scrappy studio - especially if you have no previous experience.

Subject: Salary Question
I was watching a story on one of those business channels about artists
entering the Video game industry. It said average starting salary nation
wide is
$53,000 a year.
Does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks
