1. could make millions with the right company
2. if you had a high end position at one of those places you would most likley make a good amount of money
3. depends on where you're working, working for a studio like making a movie or something that there's very few people in the same job, you could easily make over 100k but usually it's around 60k.
4. Tons. But the problem is actually GETTING that job. The chances are probably slimmer than becoming a hollywood actor. The market is extremely cutthroat and competitive, and any aspiring artist will get shot down, a lot, before they can even blink. Still, there are a few lucky ones!
5. well... it all depends on how good you are, like if ur good enough to make ghraphics as good as a final fantasy game, or maybe the wii, ps3 and 360 games, then you would receive over 300 thousand dollors a month. Or if u happen to make something that someone puts into a store and its a really popular seller, then you would recieve about 500k
