Hasta La Motion!

I am have had a retouching studio in San Francisco for 15 years. All of my work has been for print, here is a link to my website so you can see the type of work I do. Well I am starting to learn nuke and plan to eventually make the switch to becoming a Nuke artist. I was wondering how much nuke artist can earn? I no there are many variables, such as commercial vs feature film, full time vs freelance and then your skill level. But cam you give me a rough idea of what I should plan on starting out at and how high it could go? I know that I would bascially be starting all over, bit I would think that all of my years of creating images for print would count for something.

Thanks,
Steve
