You can look at Major League Soccer in the US. David Beckham makes $6.5 million/year and the median salary for all players is $53,000. Lowest salary for developmental players is $13,000.
$53k a year is probably not too bad unless you live in expensive areas, but it's really not a lot considering that the length of your career is probably less than ten years.
