How can I become a video jockey (VJ)? What starting salary can I expect?

This question needs two submissions from the student's side: 1. what are the academic or educational credentials of the person? 2. Based on what skills, expertise, experience and appearance does the aspiring video jockey wants to claim the job? Answer by assuming that the person is having some substantial education like graduation or something which makes him or her a literate person. I shall not recommend the observation that even an illiterate person can become an VJ. So proper education, excellent language skills in the targeted or demanded language, fluency in speaking, sense of humor and courtesy, improvisation in the live speech, no fear of stage or acting along with an impressive and pleasant personality. Proper training and exposure to the camera and presenting oneself to camera and audience in a live mode needed. Some good videos are already available and shared on Youtube and participating in regular RJ and VJ Hunts will also open possible jobs. Now comes the salary part: No final word can be given on this. It may be thousands or even Lacs per month for someone who works with a reputed brand of a channel. Who starts as a fresher may get to the average package of the industry as given to other media profiles. I repeat, no final word on salary from my side.
