@BadSideOfHeaven Good estimate. I am a Marine Biology Phd from Britain. On my current post i earn a £1996 Per Month (after taxation). HOWEVER, the job satisfaction that i derive from my work far outweighs any shortcomings with regards to salary. Sure i could earn triple or more in business, engineering and other such careers..but i doubt i would be half as satisfied or stimulated.

Good, thoughtful reply BadSideOfHeaven and nice to see someone who does not think we get paid a kings Ransom. TC
