Summary of Presentation by
Dr. Susanne Lindgren
Job Possibilities
There are job positions that can grow with experience. The only
drawback is that you may be looked over for one with a higher degree
or more experience. One reason for getting a job after receiving
this degree is that you may find your focus before continuing with
education.
- Biotechnology starting pay ~35K Companies= Genentech, Chiron
- Government starting pay ~20-30K CDC, NIH, USDA
- Academia starting pay ~high 20K
- Research labs
- Master of Sciences: The only drawback is that you still have
to pay tuition. However, one can usually find a higher paying
biotech position. Other possibilities are to teach at the collegiate
level. -labs $30/hour -lecture $40/hour The masters degree usually
will give you a better bargaining chip for salary. This usually
means a higher pay scale than a person with a bachelors degree.
- PhD: Usually one doesn't have to pay tuition in this case. They
will also pay you a stipend of 15-25K. This stipend goes towards
being either a teachers assistant or a research assistant. There
is a possibility of 10K more if teaching classes. This degree
has a higher pay scale than both previously mentioned degrees.
