Biology degrees are generally low paying for this type of work.  Hopefully you and child understand all this.[/quote]

Agreed. Not to mention, PhDs for for Biology tend to take VERY long. The work is something I personally love and find fulfilling, but it's not financially rewarding.

Gotta do what you love![/quote]

Not everyone can afford to do what they love. At this point I think parents basically have to bankroll PhD candidates if they want a shot in hell of ever being financially stable. [/quote]
PhDs in the Sciences are typically fully funded with either TA or RA positions.  There's no issue until you graduate with a biology PhD after 6-10 years of living on $45k a year while working 60+ hour weeks and think you deserve to have a good salary and to live like an adult, only to either not find a job or find one that pays $60-80k.
