Yes, it's an excellent career, but you must go to shcool for 6-8 years, depending on how many credit hours you take.\nPay is 70,000.00 and up, with some experience.  Start at your local community college, it's cheaper, then transfer to a university.  Good luck!

You typically need a B.S. or B.A. from a four year university and then you can go to optometry school for four years. You will also need to attend continuing education classes every few years and take tests to obtain a license to practice in your state.\n\nThe pay is proffesional level pay and you can make a few hundred dollars a day as an employeed optometrist and far more if you run a succesful optometry office with an onsite lab and frame selection.\n\nMany who are employeed by others work typical 9-5 hours and spend most of the day in a dark little exam room.

It depends on what degree you have and what capacity you nursing. For example a school nurse entry level position may only pay you between 24,000-28,000 US dollars per year, but entering the field as a nurse specializing in trauma, or geriatrics, pediatric, OR Nurse, Oncology Nursing, or any specialized nursing will not probably begin by paying you additional money, but in the long-run, specializing in a field of nursiong requiring specialized knowledge will pay off for you eventually.  Home health nursing can also be very lucrative though you must have a certain number of years experience as well as a certain level of knowledge and experience with different types of equipment. \nI have a friend who recently became an LPN and works regular 8 hr shifts 5-6 days per week and he made 66,000 US dollars last year.  It really depends on your level of education, the position you take and if you are administration in the nursing field, a Patient care manager, a Director of Nursing, assistant director of nursing or even in a recruiting or teaching position.  There is a significant difference in salary depending upon if you are an LPN- Licensed Practical Nurse, RN Registered nurse, BSN Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, or if you become a nurse practitioner.  LPN can be achieved in 2 or less years depending on if your program is excellerated, it allows you to nurse, but it limits the meds you can provide and in the field depending on where you nurse, it can limit you to doing treatments and giving meds only.  RN is historically achieved in 4 years and comes as a BSN but in previous years RN has been accelerated and given in 2-4 years without the bachelors degree.  Becoming a nurse practitioner is usually a step that some nurses who hold a Masters of Science in NUrsing take which will put them at about an equivelent level with a physician's assistant (PA) able to follow and treat patients but unable to prescribe narcotics and followed up by a physician who signs off on his/her treatments or prescribed course of action.  They work under the licensure or an approved physician.  I would suggest getting on a web site that does national or even international comparison for careers with varying levels of education.  Sorry I don't have additional time to find any for you at this time, but I hope this helped you out a bit anyway.  If I find time I will post some sites for you a bit later.  GOOD LUCK with your future endeavors and don't get discouraged!

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 have a pet product import and manufacturing company. I love my job. I am 31 and started the company 10 years ago during college at UC Berkeley. I make between $300,000 and $400,000 a year depending on how sales go each year. I am investing the extra money in real estate development and that is starting to take off. If you are thinking about a new career, I highly recommend the career that no one ever thinks to recommend...consumer products' design and manufacturing. When I was thirteen I wanted to be a fireman or a pirate. When I was 19 I wanted to be a plastic surgeon or an orthodontist. Now I am glad that I am in manufacturing because I get paid the same even when I don't show up.  One piece of advice, get paid for what you know, not what you do. My dad and sister are doctors and they only get paid when they are working...they are ALWAYS working.

It depends on where you live and what field you work in. It's usually between 25-56 a year. But that can depend on lots of different factors.

Not quite sure I understand.... Are you starting your undergraduate career or graduate career, the PhD part has me confused.  Anyways, since I don't know the specifics of the degree (i.e. concentration/focus such as micrbiology, evolution, etc.), possible career paths include:\n\n* Teacher- secondary level, working about 45 hours per week, with an average starting salary of $38,000\n* Professor- at four year college/university, ~60 hrs/wk, ~$28,500\n* Researcher- at institution/corporation, ~40 hrs/wk, ~$32,000\n* Biologist- with government (i.e. NIH, CDC, etc.), ~45 hrs/wk, ~$27,000\n\nThose are just the primary options.  Hope this was of some help to you.

Wow, monster.com is optimistic about our salaries.  Lab technicians make barely $35-45k entry level, and up to $55-70k when in senior positions.  But it depends on the company, hospital, lab you're working for.  You'll do better at a pharmaceutical lab or medical lab, but it's not worth the stress.  University labs are soooooo much more relaxed, but pay less.

It varies from state to state and province to province.  It depends on where they work, and whether they are in private practice or in a government job or working for a corporation or clinic.  The range could be quite wide - probsably from a low of about $50,000 to a high of $120,000 or more a year.  I expect a good private practice would pay the most.\n\nI hope this helps.

That truly depends on what job you get and where you are willing to work. In the radiation protection field, you may find a job first as a junior technician on the road (traveling) and make about $50,000 a year or so. It is long hours and travel every couple months from nuclear power plant to nuclear power plant.
