Painters can work in a few different type of fields. Commercial or Residential. I know some folks that have had successful businesses in both. Owning your own business is difficult but i feel would be the best bet for maximizing your income from the trade.
Hope this

Hello Brandi, painting is a good job, there are different specialities in painting and coatings and the salaries are quite good, are you looking to be employed by a company or start your own painting business?

The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 % earned less than $25,970, and the highest 10 % earned more than $64,790.
