I have seen jobs postings for Neuroscience Nurses that pay between 85K to 120K a year

He doesn't make ANYTHING if he's not employed. And if he's a teaching assistant or research assistant, he doesn't make much.
Do you have a problem with this????

(6,460 posts)those kids who will invest their time and money to get a bachelor degree just to find out there is no work for them and if there is any they will make 16 to 20 dollar per hour.

No way someone with B.S. degree in sciences would be making between 85K and 120K a year.

(40,416 posts)You have to say it every time a customer orders a smaller coffee. Eventually, it's imprinted in the Starbuck's employee's cortex. When he or she goes home and his or her spouse asks for a coffee, the automagic response is, "How about a Grandè?"
That's neuroscience at the Bachelor level.

(92,502 posts)living in San Francisco or New York in general are to make much more than someone in the midwest. The cost of living, housing, etc is much more which is one reason why salaries are different depending on the geography

(26,181 posts)Nurse Practioners make good money, too. That is also a graduate degree.

Not happening.

I know or am related to almost as many nurses as teachers.

(26,181 posts)He needed a Ph.D. to make decent money, and would have made 25-35K, maybe, with an MS.

(32,100 posts)To even stand a chance of finding a decent-paying job, one needs a PhD. Most biomedical research jobs open to people with a BS degree tend to be low-paying grunt jobs. That also holds true for those with a Masters Degree in a lot of cases.
And, finding a job is a big "if" these days, regardless of what degrees one has. Grant money has been drying up for the past decade, and without grant money, investigators can't hire technical staff to do their work. It mostly gets left up to grad students.

(32,100 posts)If doing what you really want to do, even if it doesn't pay well, is more important, then yeah, it is worth it. Being happy with one's career, even if low-paying, beats a drudge job with a fat paycheck, IMO.
