While there are those options, also keep in mind that those schools are competitive because of over saturation. Heck, even if you get a JD, becoming a lawyer is difficult due to law schools lowering admission standards. PsyD acceptance is between 5-10%, and med schools are also highly selective. Part of the reason bio as a major is oversaturated is bc of med school rejects. And even the higher paying fields also have the same options.

The state can pay for my masters or it will forgive up to $80k. My masters program is going to be $20k. I plan on starting my masters program for social work soon. When licensed with my degree, I'm looking at $65k-$80k depending where and skill/experience. Psychology and social work can pay off, but graduate school will secure the higher payout. Plus, with time and experience that's where the bump in pay comes in. The key is finding the cheapest or free route.

Best advice I can give is not only do you research for the average pay but find out WHERE you're gonna get paid the best and decide if that's gonna be a problem for you. There's not much need for me where I grew up. Out of college, I was expected to make $30k or so for a while. But in NM, where pollutants abound, education for citizens is poor, and environmental protections are forefront...I can make bank. Do I like NM? No, but I can make do until I get the experience that can take me anywhere I want to go for the same check or better. Oh and, not to knock you, be very careful about 'studies' degrees. They either need to be paired with something else or you need a solid plan for life after college. That's all I'm gonna say.

@silviag3798

Жыл бұрын

@Amatullahi Mu'mal yeah. 1. if you're serious about physics (as in, never want to do anything else but immerse yourself in research), get an advanced degree. I've yet to meet a career physicist who had anything less than a Master's, and most of the physicists I work with have Ph.D's plus 2 years post doc ( my field is medical physics) . 2. If, like me, you simply can't stomach any more schooling, look for physicist-adjacent jobs in industry. They're usually very niche and hard to suss out, but once you find them, you could potentially have long term job security. My position as a technologist is a prime example: I measure and collect data that the physicists use to assess the accuracy of radiation therapy treatments. 3. Get to know people already working in the specialty you want. Go to academic talks. Sign up for the professional association for physicists that's in your area. Physics is a small world, professionally. Most of the experts in a field in any given country know or have contact with one another. So a bit of networking (I hate that word) doesn't hurt. 4. If working in physics itself doesn't mean as much to you as simply getting a decent job, then my advice is to branch out a bit. Consider applying for a job that's tangentially related and still uses your physics skill set. There may be jobs in tech, engineering, or government that will fit the bill. For example, in the nuclear power industry or in regulatory bodies such as the IAEA. Cast a wider net. Hope that helps.

Probably a really rewarding career but the pay is lackluster for a phd for sure.

I’m in college and currently majoring in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics with a concentration in Political Science (it’s a combination major). I originally wanted to go to a private college but then I found a cheaper public university that had all of the things that I wanted. I know that having a Political Science degree means that you will need to network in order to get a higher paying job. The college that I go to is in my home town. The University has an average reputation but I already have great networking connections with high power people in the area. The private school had a better reputation but it’s a college that is only good at liberal arts. Going to the public university in my hometown has allowed me to have less debt, stronger connections, and a well rounded education. I also recommend living in the dorms if you want the “college experience”. I am planning on getting a master’s degree or going to law school. I highly recommend making a weighted pros and cons list. I made a list on excel and it helped me make a decision that was logical, realistic, and took my emotions into consideration.
