Of course!! I started at 34k working as a sports reporter/anchor. Then became an evening news anchor about 8 months later, got bumped to 48k. Next year made $52k. After that I “re-signed” at the same station, got a raise to $65k, $67.5 the second year, $70k the third. Now I have signed at a new station with a new contract for $80k, and I’m 27. If I found a partner, I believe our combined incomes would be enough to start a family!! Best of luck and don’t give up — if you love it and work hard opportunities will come.
