Video Editing is very hard to treat it as a full time job.

If you work for large production companies, they will pay more but don't expect to be paid like a regular white collar job.

Also, large production companies have limited vacancies so your next best options are those youtubers or small family owned production companies.

These couldn't pay you much cause they themselves don't earn much. These industries doesn't give much increment and they often keep the cost as low as possible cause they would have just gotten freelance if they could.

In summary, video editor is suitable only for part time while you study for your degree or as a freelance weekend job. There is no career being a video editor.
