sqy, don't tell me you won't land a good job with a PhD or even a Masters in Psychology or Sociology. As far as making money goes, it all depends from person to person, I for one, would like to take up a profession of my interest and be happy with whatever money I can make and not end up in a "supposedly high paying job" which I might not be able to do it passionately. However, I do agree that pure science does have a lot of funds for RAs and TAs. Good Luck Kirsten !
