"7. What do marine biologists make as a salary?
This is not easy to answer as the variation is great. If you were an average Ph.D. entering a university job these days as an assistant professor, you would earn a salary of ca. 45,000-50,000 for the academic year and then could earn a summer salary as well, mainly from grants. Salaries of public school teachers are generally lower and the variation is great. Consulting firms start also in the 40s. The upper end is extremely variable but in universities, marine biologists' salaries usually correspond to the average for science professors. A full professor these days in a university is earning 65,000-90,000 and more for the academic year."

Well it basically depends how qualified you are and who you're working for.. If you're working for the government you'll be paid less than if you're working for a private corporation.. But then again if you work for a private corporation you'll probably be trying to prove theories such as the massive oil slick that's just occurred isn't harming the marine life... Hmm ethical dilemna, but more pay!
Good luck with that!

I did this for you and see the annual income for someone with 1 years exp. working in environmental research based in SFO would make $58K - $73,750K.
Look on the web for something like Bureau of statistics, annual income by profession.

Slightly more than an Army Biologist, but not as much as a Navy Biologist...

If they're working on oil rigs (e.g. in the North Sea) they make a bucket load of cash and gets lots of time off. If they're working for marine parks, it won't be as much & if they're on research projects - poverty wages on beautiful beaches.

I don't know, but I'll bet its a lot of "clams". Really? It depends on who they are employed by and what they do, but I'd guess that with a Ph.D. they might be able to earn about $60,000 a year as tenured college professors.

There are no biologists in the Marines. They bring in Air Force personnel to fill those spots.
They get paid based on grade and date of rank.

They don't get paid -- people throw fish at them at Sea World.
