Those "digital" jobs at start ups often pay six figures.
Unless you are a superstar in your field, most start up salaries are more in the $40 - 80k range. Many founders dig themselves deep into debt to get their idea up and running. You don't get into a startup looking for a big salary, and start ups don't typically offer them. You get into a startup to try and get in early and get a slice of the company before it gets bought by a large corporation or before the startup goes public.
According to Forbes and the Wall Street journal, over 90% of startups fail, but if you get in early and get lucky, you could hit it big.

Not really. I've worked in that industry my entire career for different companies: Digital agency, digital market research, digital listings management, marketing cloud management, data privacy, programaric targeting...worst pay is on the agency side (but that's pretty well known). If you are in sales or a developer or engineer on the vendor side, you'll have a decent salary. And you don't have to be a "start up" to be considered a digital or tech company. There are many well oiled tech companies (and I'm not just talking about Google and Yahoo) that people outside of the industry have no idea about.

Not from what I'm seeing. Most trends point to money shifting away from traditional media to digital. As more people consume digital media and spend more time online (look at how much you all post on here), the money (and tech development) follows. Of course I'm speaking of the tech compiles that support media measurement and advertising --which is a whole digital ecosystem in itself. There are several of these "digital ecosystems" LUMA Partners » LUMAscapes
There is never proof. Only informed guessing.
Others are guessing, by the way.
I can assure you, I'm not guessing. Tech companies pay well. Tech sector is strong. More money is shifting "online" so the industry is growing. Yes, some startups won't make it but that's the nature of a start up.
Google "NYC tech companies". There are multiple sites that will list companies in the industry. You can look at those companies and see what they have and if your skills match. Of course, it will be hard to get one of those jobs unless you are qualified or have connections (like most jobs in NYC). Also, as I mentioned before, the larger salaried roles at these types of companies are for engineering/dev or sales.

In that case, you should definitely help yourself and best of luck with it all.
