How much does a scientist get paid?

Answer 1

Well, "scientist" is a very ample term; that is, a term that really covers quite a lot. I don't think there is a college career called "scientist"; rather, you might specifically study chemical engineering, or mathematics, or astronomy, etc. There are also lots of jobs in applied science, i.e., engineering: for example architecture, economics, etc., and just about any job description that has "engineering" as part of its name. Also, the details on payment - and on job availability! - may vary quite a lot from one country to another. You can find information on different jobs, for the specific case of the United States, in the OOH (Occupational Outlook Handbook); if you live in some other country, you might find something similar for your country. Otherwise, the OOH might at least that gives you some idea.
