Most of what the one poster said is true, with a few exceptions.\n\nA good math teacher may start at 35000, but can end up at the better end of 60,000 after a few years.\n\nComputer science is actually a fairly in demand major, despite the tech bubble burst. They are still reporting starting salaries in the 50,000 range. The burst caused an exodus in the computer science major, which has actually worried companies like Microsoft, Intel, IBM, etc.\n\nYou have the equivalent of an A.S. degree, though. A decent salary might be 22-25 thousand.

No, it is rarely negotiable.  There are usually many post-docs at the institution/lab and they all get paid the same.  If they really want you, you may have some bargaining power for things like travel, computer resources, etc.

It is and will continue to be a good field of study.  As government regulations continue to control industrial applications of chemicals in their use and disposal, environmental scientists will always be in demand.

In Texas, the going rate would be about $10-15/hour depending on the subject, level of difficulty, and amount of work required. \n\nTrue, if you have a specialized degree you may certainly charge more like $20-30/hour

They're all very different.  Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering have historically been among the highest paying engineering disciplines, but it's hard to do well in ANY engineering discipline if you don't enjoy the work.  And in the end, I'd say it's better to like your job than to make more money.  In engineering, if you're good at what you do, generally your opportunities will get better.\n\nI studied Computer Science in school and really enjoy what I do, but I know people who absolutely HATE it, and it's not worth picking a career if you don't think you'd like it.

chemists are 10 a penny. working as sales rep for chem company is best opion if money is your prime aim.  but remember a BSc is no longer regarded as a high level of educaton due to the large numbers who have them and this has pushed down graduate wages, science graduates are among the lowest paid.  avoid research work as it is low paid and short term contract in many cases.  you may wish to consider working abroad too. good luck

I just finished a dental assistant course and hopefully will go back to school in a few years to become a dental hygienist.  I hear the pay is good in certain states.  Also, you have to be sure, wherever you are, that there is a high demand on the career of your choice, unless you're willing to relocate.  I love the dental field and am looking forward to continuing my education.  Good luck.

Do what you think you'll enjoy. FYI, my sister majored in Microbiology, she works at a hospital as a Lab Tech. She's the person who tests your blood sample and generates the results for the doctors. Pretty decent salary.

Associates- takes 1-2 years, some include the LPN nursing degree, lab tech, surgery assistant, computer tech, EMT, childcare.  These degrees usually land low to middle paying jobs. \n\nBachelors- 3-5 years, you can get a bachelors degree in almost anything.  There are several that pay well, and most of them pay median to upper median salaries. \n\nMaster's- 1-2 yrs. after bachelor's, usually result in high paying jobs, for example, nurse practitioner or PA, college instructor in your field, researcher, etc. \n\nDoctorate-3-4 yrs after bachelor's degree, these degrees pay high salaries.

Depends on your education level.  Diploma only, typically about $18,000 a year.  Associates, about $39,000 a year.  Bachelors (also depends on field) about $40-45,000 a year.

It depends on what your associates degree is for and where you are living. I have an associates of applied science (paralegal) and it is a tough job market out there, just being out of school, with no real hands on experience. If your looking to get an associates degree I would highly reccomend something basic, like; accounting, business management, or medical transcription.

An Associates Degree (in the Arts, Sciences, Fine Arts) takes two years.  Usually only junior/community colleges offer it as a degree.\n\nYou can also pick up professional certifications (IT networking, medical technician, electrician) from vocational schools or community colleges in 1-2 years usually.\n\nIf the job you want requires a Bachelor's though, you're probably going to have to get it one way or the other (online courses or evening from an accredited university might be the way to go).  Co-op's are available at a number of corporations so you can complete your studies over time and work with them in the interim.

1. Each course is equally payable.\n2. CS, Electronics, Communication, Electrical are the major ones in great demand\n3. NO branch is future secured. Because what you do after your degree is what matters and not what you do IN your degree.\n4. refer pt 2.\n\nI have seen guys with Civil Engg landing a high-pay job in foriegn countries. I know Engg graduates of Computers and Electronics sitting at home even NOW.\n\nSo decide on what you want to do after your degree, which field and then work towards it... \n\nQualification is only a tool, it cannot be the medium for your success.\n\n.:Fishie:.

I don't know what you earn, but in the company I work for, I hire co-ops from xxxxxx University.  The tech department co-ops started at $18/hr the first year, and if we wanted them to stay, they were offered a $1/hour increase each year thereafter.  If they were good, we offered them to stay on after they graduated at $25/hr.\n\nMaybe you can  base your request on that.

For any engineer the typical earnings in salary is about 40K.  That is the poorest of engineers.  Probably you would be making 50K after 3 years.  I am not sure about 15.  I know for sure you will make no less than 30K, because that is the starting salary of lab technicians and my friend is one.
