It’s really not about the money. I do what I do because it is interesting and I like doing it. Some geologists, especially in the oil and gas and mining industries earn several times what I do, but some of them do exactly the same thing every day, and I don’t know about you but I would get really bored.
I have moved to Germany recently for a new job and get about €2400 a month before taxes.
It’s definitely not about the money, the salary that scientist get can vary a great deal between academia and industry. I get about £33500 a year.
I wouldn’t change my job to earn more money, I’m very lucky that I get to go to a job everyday that I enjoy doing
