College professor - salary depends on how prestigious the university is and how much research and teaching you do, could be as high as $75k starting.\n\nFailure analysis and forensic engineering - many firms like to hire PhDs, because this credential is important for marketing expert testimony.  Starting salaries depend on your expertise, ballpark $60-$70k.\n\nHigh-end design firms will also hire PhDs, but you will probably get paid as if you have an MS.  Expect $50k or so to start.\n\nAlso, the government jobs listed above are an option.

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.

Yes, if you have a passion for the field and are good at it. Otherwise, I'd suggest other ways to earn money.\nBe sure to distinguish between a psychiatrist and psychologist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor first, and is able (and often willing) to prescribe drugs as a part of therapy.\nA psychologist specializes more in cognitive or behavioral treatments, and typically is not able to prescribe drugs.\nMonetarily, psychiatrists are likely to earn significantly more in their careers. As far as happiness, I think you will find that both psychiatrists and psychologists enjoy the challenge of making a difference in people's lives.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology\n\nIv been graduated for 10 years now and also have a masters in the subject. I use this as a starting point all the time. Then copy and paste key concepts into the search engines to get viewpoints from less mainstream sites. Good luck

Most definitely.  IO psychology is where the money is.  You can do consulting with government agencies, corporations, organizations....they pay big bucks.  Here is the link for the Society of Consulting Psychology...

It depends on where they are working, which state or province, whether they have a private clinic or work in the education system or health care system.  Where I live starting salary in a government job would be about $45,000 and could probably go as high as $75,000 in the richer jurisdictions, but I expect they make more money if they are in private practice.

If you want a high-paying psychology job you would have to do one of two things: get a PhD so you can be a professor at the university level or get a PsyD so you can be a practicing clinical psychologist.\n\nI graduated with a B.A. in Psychology but I chose not to go for a doctorate degree, just yet. Right now I'm an Outreach Coordinator for a university. I LOVE my job! I provide individual and group college counseling to middle school and high school students, and I coordinate other counselors to do the same. I'm using the skills I learned in my counseling and interviewing classes as a psychology student. Currently I'm looking into grad schools for school counseling or student affairs at the university level so I can continue counseling students. \n\nYou CAN do something with a B.A. in psychology, however its hard if you don't have any job, internship or volunteer experience.

eighty thousand a year is good for one who just gets their papers.  Entry level PhD. Psychology  In a good agency, one can command more; closer to one hundred thousand a year.  But in reality, greed from the CEOs an such, they'll try to pay $60,000.

I worked at a teaching assistant for two years at the University of TX in El Paso.  To get the position I put on my application that I would like to work as a TA.  As a Master's student, I cleared about $800 per month.  PhD students received about $1500.  Needless to say that was neither enough to pay for tuition nor monthly living expenses.  As a graduate student loans are unfortunately considered scholarships, that's what I used to get by.  Departments usually offer scholarships and if you have a high enough GPA you can get scholarships from outside sources.  Check with the Financial Aid office, they usually have a list of scholarships you can apply for.
