i wil start off at around 79,000 after i get my masters... i think a bachelors will get me about 60,000
UM, I don't know...I'm surely gone major in sociology and I've been thinking about what exactly I'm going to do with it. Social work has been on my mind all year, but I just recently started thinking about high school counseling. Whatever I do, it's going to be in a high school though, so I'll be gettin paid decent. Maybe get a few more thousand if I can coach football like I want to also.
About $475,000 after my BS Degree
According to Monster.com, in Atlanta, GA where I will live after graduation the starting salary for a Guidance Counselor at a school makes on average $45,294 after 4 years. The lowest make about $38,361 while the highest make $53,118 in that same span
I have yet to find a concrete number. This post kind of got me interested in how much I would make if I follow through with the Cancer Research Idea. I found this excerpt from an article...
Expanding the Number of Biomedical Researchers
There is a shortage of biomedical researchers in the cancer field because of inadequate pay. This shortage slows the pace of discovery and delays the development of new **** and treatments.
The legislation would create a new program to pay off the medical school loans of 100 physicians per year who commit to spend at least three years as cancer researchers. This provision would also boost the annual salaries of 1,000 post doctoral researchers over 5 years, up from the current starting salary of $28,000.
Every year, young physicians and researchers avoid the field of cancer research because, frankly, they feel they can make more money elsewhere. This provision will help reverse that trend and add thousands of men and women on the front lines of the fight.
I figure that's not too bad. Hell if they take care of my loans, then I wouldn't have any loans to pay off. :razz:
