All of a sudden, today I thought of doing a little research about how much I can earn after my PhD or Master and what will be my career sector. While doing a research, I found the official website of The Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. To be consistent, I decided to stick with this website and compare salary and earning of some highly paid and highly respected jobs in the USA.
I am going for PhD in Natural Resource and research focus on Forest Economics. So, It is obvious that I am looking at jobs and salary range for at least ‘Master of Science’ degree or PhD degree. Sometimes just a bachelor degree is enough for the job depending on which job you want to go. So, information for only bachelor degree may be available. However, you can make a rough prediction for the higher education level looking that the payment amount of bachelor salary.
I am putting some links to go through for different jobs related to my area and comparing them with some of the highest paid jobs such as Registered Nurse, Doctors and Pharmacist. I thought of putting this information in this blog post as they might be helpful to you as well. Below are some of the links to go through:
Economist, Mathematician and Statistician, Registered Nurses, Environment Scientists and Specialist, Agriculture and Food Scientists, Pharmacists, Physicians and Surgeons and Geographers: GIS/RS and Coding and Programming.
