[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which hard science/STEM field only makes 50-70k with a Master's?[/quote] Most of them! Except maybe engineering. Many biology type fields need a PhD to be competitive and that doesn't even guarantee a high salary.[/quote] 00:40 here - I agree. At the federal agencies, I would expect someone starting out with just a masters (and not much work experience) in the Bio or environmental sciences to come in as a GS-9, so ~$54k here in DC. Most people seem to quickly move up to GS 11/12 at least, so would likely be making at least 80-$100k by mid-career. However, it sounds like OP will likely be the trailing job moving fairly frequently for her husband's job, so it will probably be difficult for her to strategize to move up the ranks. [/quote]
