Title: News producer at KSTP-TV.
What do you do? I write everything the anchors say and I script everything you see in terms of graphics and pictures and sound during the newscast.
On the job: More than a year. In news, I am on my third year.
Salary: $30,000 to $60,000 -- this is a ballpark figure. It depends on your work experience and what you can bring to the organization. My first job was $22,000.
Education: Master's in journalism and public affairs from American University in Washington, D.C., B.A. in communications from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas.
How did you decide your career path? I always knew I wanted to be in news. At first, I thought I wanted to be a reporter in front of the camera but once I started interning, I learned that the producer has more control of what airs, and I like that influence.
