Probably a little more than minimum wage (say about $10 ~ $12 per hour).
Everything is factored in for location, company size, education, experience, and software skills.
The (2) that pay the most are Cadence and Mentor Graphics, but Altium is also popular.
Eagle and other hobby packages are not used in the industry, so don't bother with them.
Expect to top out at about $80K with at least 10 ~ 15 years of experience:

If you want to go higher than that you will need to be an Electrical Engineer.
In fact many PCB jobs require EE experience for high speed (>500 MHz) designs.
