The ugly thing about science that most people don't realize is that these guys don't make much money. You go through schooling and try to get a job at NASA which is hard to get, and they don't pay anything. I hear a rocket scientist at NASA with a PhD in physics makes around $50k a year. And most of those jobs are in CA where the cost of living is high, and they have to pay back all those school loans.

My opinion is if the job is satisfying, it doesn't matter what the salary is. You'll be happy with peanuts if you love what you're doing.

My brother earned is Masters in EE and Computer Engineering at the same time.

He worked his butt off to do it though.

after going to so many top schools for his physics degrees . . . he goes to loyola to get his MBA?

i would expect someone with an education like that to get an MBA from a top notch school

Not that science and engineering pays all that well for the effort that goes into it, but a new graduate Ph.D. starts in the government at GS-11 or 12 depending on the job. In L.A. that's 55 or 65K. Ph.D. should get to GS-13 without much trouble, that's 78K-101K in L.A. And most of these scientific degrees do not leave you under a mountain of debt as you usually get an assistantship with a stipend and tuition waiver.

His education doen't count for much. The position is a political hack job. Bush runs NASA.
