Does anyone know about salaries for medical scientists?

Also, what are possible career paths for graduates with a med science degree?

Actuarial Studies is Actuarial Studies.

For those jobs, I'd assume a Commerce degree with a relevant major would get you in.

Mining Engineering, Dentistry and Optometry.

Graduate salaries will never be that high. They will only apply to people who have been in the industries for a good length of time.

Just wondering which occupations earn the most straight out of uni?

It can vary. As someone pointed out earlier, law graduates can earn great money provided they get a job at a top tier firm (which very few do). The same goes for other degrees. What most people seem to forget is that its difficult to get a job straight away after university. Graduates often apply for many positions before they are hired and usually they make little money.

mining engineering but heaps volatile (i.e. could crash at any time not worth the risk, do civil instead wassup)

This is important to remember.

too true.

its proly better to get into and industry in which youll still have a job in the next 10/20 years and where there is room to make more money as you get older,
so a job has 60,000 grad salary if after 10 years that job is only worth 80k/y and a job with 45k grad salary is then 100k/y which is a better option

 

[boganxcore]

you could easily work as a civil engineer if you had a mining engineering degree though lol

 

[lpower3]

Mining engineer graduate average $102k first year out.

truly idiot.

 

[hungwell1337]

really depends how its quoted, if its a 80k salary it might infact be a 100k package.

100k ish sounds about right, for mining engineering grads

 

[Drongoski]

Whether $80k or $100k that's still great money straight out of uni!

Here I am trying to find a few students to pay me $40 to $50 an hour. In comparison I'm just a casual labourer.

There looks as though things are about to change with a "white collar" recession currently being predicted for Australia
