The others are correct.  The median tells you only what point is in the middle of the ordered set of salaries.  It tells you nothing about the shape of the distribution, the min, the max, or anything else descriptibe about the data.\n\nThe following sets of numbers all have the same median value:\n\nA) 1 2 3 55,000 55,000, 55,000, 55,000\nB) 55,000, 55,000, 55,000 55,000 55,000, 55,000, 55,000\nC) 0 55,000, 1,234,567,890

The highest paying job will be the one you are willing to invest a lot of time into, to become one of the best at it. Every job market has a bottom and a top. \n\nReally the only other option is to luck into cash via inheritance or someone helping you along. Since your are here I guess that's not a option for you. \n\nSince you are just materialistic you should pick out a job market that has the most opportunity for someone who only cares about money.  You could be a bottom feeder such as a Ambulance chaser form of Lawyers.  Or a salesman who calls up the elderly to sell them timeshares or burial insurance.

as a zoological cell biologist, you could even get a job working with human cell biology ... human or veterinary (agricultural animal) field is probably a more likely place to find a job than the general animal field.

The salary/remuneration for a particular job is the market value for a particular profession and designation at the city/town where the office is located. Job postings at websites like Monster, Yahoo HotJobs and Careerbuilder carry information about salaries. The Govt Dept of Labor, (www.bls.gov) Bureau of statistics has information about median salaries for different professions and details of additional compensation offered. Other online resources are salary.com and payscale. Your salary will also depend on your educational qualification and how you handle your career.

In Canada, it's $36 000.00 per year without a degree (just your teaching license) or $46 000.00 per year with a degree BA or BSc and your teaching license.  Also, if you have a double degree, or a master's degree the starting salary is even higher.  \n\nThat's much higher than $14.00 per hour.

I work in the biotechnology industry.  One of the biggest challenges in this field is managing contamination.  Having a degree in microbiology is a gateway of opportunity in this field.  With a BA/BS in microbiology, you can start at 40-50K a year.  Depending on other skills you posess, business, management, etc. there are a lot of opportunities for growth to management level positions.  After 5 years of growth in the jobs, if you are an exceptional employee, you can go up to 90-120K.  This is my personal experience an not necessarily the average for positions across America.  There are books available that list average salaries and job search engines that list salaries.

Aquarial Science is the study of aquarial life. To be more precise it is the study of different species in the Sea and fresh water rivers. The way the species impact the balance of the sea and vice versa.\n\nNo one is ready to pay 1.3 million for a Aquarial Scientist. If it is the case please do let me know!!!!!!

that would be an endocrinologist.  As far as what they make that would depend on the area they are in, if they have their oun practice and how big that practice is.  I would say min. 200 g on average a year.  There could be some that only make 100 grand then some that earn 1 million.

According to my source (which cites the US News and World Report college and university survey) the most selective zoology programs are found at Harvard, University of MIchigan - Ann Arbor, and BYU-Provo.  \n\nI'd go for UM-Ann Arbor, personally -- it's more affordable than Harvard, and Michigan is mroe fun than Utah.  :)

I really recommend you take some time to find out what majors are out there and what they mean.  Zoology *is not* working in a zoo or the study of zoos.  It's the study of animal life and if you want to work with animals, that and biology should be your majors. \n\nAlso, don't forget about Primatology.  It's a subdiscipline of Physical Anthropology, but once you get to your masters level, it's biology and field research laden.   Primatologists working for preserves in Indonesia and Africa frequently work to rehabilitate the orphaned primates.  They also work to educate the world about primates and the dangers they face.  \n\nWhat you do with your major is up to you.  Once you have it decided and are in school, you can start doing unpaid internships with various organizations around the world.  You can try and find a good fit for what suits you and what doesn't.  Realize that a Masters or a Doctorate will most likely be required if you wish to pursue a field professionally.  \n\nAlso realize that unless you are in a preserve/reserve/zoo situation, your work will most likely be reserach oriented.  You will be in the field, but not just sitting and playing with the animals.  You will most likely have no contact with animals and will instead be watching for whatever your research assignment is.  Once your field assignment is over, you will have to organize your data and present it in a coherent format (scientific paper).  \n\n\nAnd remember, a biologist/zoologist that wants to travel has to be free to do so.  No ties.  That means no menagerie of pets at home to abandon.  No boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse that's not going to understand.  You can sustain relationships, but until you are ready to no longer travel, they will be long distance for large chunks of time. . .\n\nYou don't say how old you are, but you should start volunteering with animal organizations RIGHT NOW to get a feel for it.  Rescue groups, shelters, zoos, etc - it may not be what you wish to pursue, but the experience will help when you are applying for internships or doing study programs on site.  Also start looking for programs that do educational things like go into schools and talk to kids or give lectures at the zoo.  This will help teach you different approaches to talking to people about wildlife.  \n\nIf you want to be on camera educating the world, you should also take some acting/public speaking classes.  You need to be comfortable on camera and speaking to groups of people.  \n\nGood luck to you!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not break this figure down beyond "General Surgery", but the figure is $228,800 - $282,500, so it includes plastic surgery.\n\nIt is one of the best paid surgery-type of position available.

It depends on the area of the country.  For instance, in the SF Bay Area, a professional couple with advanced degrees can make $100K each ($200K) a year, and still be classified as upper middle class.  In all other areas of the country, you would be classified as upper class.  (you can't get a decent house for under $800K)\n\nTo answer your question - it depends.  If you make $100K a year, you are doing better than most people around you.  Of course, cops and firefighters make that much in the Silicon Valley (and they are supposed "low paid" civil servants)
