I am currently debating a career change. I am a Mechanical Engineer and have worked in Construction (Project Management) for the past 6 years. I feel that my true passion is Event Management and I am confident that my skills will transfer over quite well. The problem is I am not sure what the pay or salaries are like in the Event Planning world. I currently make $125K. Can anyone tell me what the range would be for event planning? I live in Los Angeles.

Do you have any real time experience in Event Planning at all or is this something you can picture yourself doing?
You probably wouldn't start at the bottom but you wouldn't be making anywhere near 125k, either.
If I were to hire you in a major city location, I'd start you at around $20 per hour. You'd have to prove to me that you can handle all aspects before you'd get an increase and an increase wouldn't come until you had several simultaneous, positive events under your belt.
Good luck!
