I agree there might not be as much money in trailers, but for an editor who loves to create effects and faced paced film. Not a bad living.

I saw a job advertised a few months ago in Florida editing trailers on FCP. It doesn't pay much though. The job I saw was paying $30k per year. You are better off cutting features than trailers. It is a much easier life and better paid. You don't usually need to get involved heavily in graphics and effects like you HAVE to in trailers. You need a very sound background in Photoshop and After Effects to cut trailers.
