Frank Rondeau posted a really great answer to a similar question over at https://www.careervillage.org/questions/20542/how-much-does-a-chef-make-a-year-with-a-culinary-degree-without-one. Here's the relevant section of his post:
"From a monetary standpoint, prep cooks typically earn minimum wage, line cooks a bit more. Sous Chefs vary depending on the market, but major cities will usually have Sous Chef pay rates in the $40,000 range. Fine Dining concepts always pay better, and experience sous chefs in full service fine dining should be making $50,000 to $60,000, potentially more if its a great (and busy brand). Chef de cuisine or Kitchen Manager roles would be in the $60s. Executive Chef salaries vary wildly by concept. Typically $60k is the starting, $75k to $85k would be average, and the best restaurants will pay for talent above $100k. "
