Some features editors are paid as little as €40k per annum. Others see about €60k. I know some who are paid far more than this but this is because the publishers - or the Editor-in-Chief - wanted or needed them far more than they wanted or needed the job. If you want precise figures relating to particular titles and publishing houses, you could do some research of your own. That's what journalists do.

haha, that is what journalists do! thanks for trying to clarify it for me though. I know it's very hard to break into, but it's something I'm also willing to work very hard for. It's something though that I've considered recently so I've only just begun researching it, & happenned to start here first. I'll definitely do more looking into it though.
