10. Marine Biologist – Average Salary: $55,000
Like most people, I associate Marine Biology with intelligence and lots of schooling, and that’s correct. Marine Biologists are experts in their field. This profession studies animals, their characteristics and habits, looking to improve as well as learn how improve marine life. They often relocate to be near water and will relocate again depending on projects available. As far as education you need a bachelor degree to start, but really you will need a master’s degree and probably a doctorate degree to move into a senior position. For all of this work you can expect an average salary around $55K. Clearly, saying you’re a “Marine Biologist” is more important than the salary you are making.
