What career pays £50K that involves science?

How quickly are you expecting to earn 50K? On leaving school? Straight after a degree? at 30?

Hi guys,
I am currently doing A-levels: Biology, Chemistry, Psychology.
I have no predicted grades at the moment (tests on March) however currently I am on ABB

Thanks!

It’s mainly the high risk ones that pay that sort of wage. However as a graduate of a bachelor i’m pretty sure you wouldn’t get that salary just as a graduate

- chemical engineer
- nuclear engineer
- aerospace engineer

Medicine is the one that comes to mind with those a levels

Petroleum engineering starts graduates of at about £40k, can work up to about £100k. Depends if you consider that science/don't mind working offshore at times.

Oh **** starts at 40k?? What?! Wow bro, I'll look into it that's crazy!

By offshore I assume going to different countries or just like round U.K?

Oh man travelling around the world and making money sounds like a dream, but I'm bracing myself to get disappointing as labour for the businessman is a cover up for slavery.. Either way, yeah, I think i'll look into it, probably will ask some more

Pharmacy from my research (aka just going on indeed and typing it in). It may take years and experience tho

Ahh idk man same I have done quite a bit of research myself, but I have been looking at what current Pharmacists and old timers are saying;

Generally its "don't do it"

Community Pharmacy Pay is apparently £36K moving to £40k <------- I have been told that retail pharmacy is hell and just not worth it for the unsociable hours put in compared to pay received
Hospital Pay has quite a high starting pay but apprently there is no real progression
Pharmacy with a top company with high profession roles e.g. manager will net you a clean £50k + however it's hard to get this salary

Furthermore I have been told the job markets getting saturated and pharmacist technicians or whatever there called are replacing pharmacist jobs. I wouldn't mind going into pharmacy as it's doable for a guy like me to get into and it provides a set somewhat security for cash, but everything so uncertain.

Opening a pharmacy would be pretty cool. I expect it costs loads though and due to competition with big retail, I doubt small pharmacies could survive long.

Well you only have engineering and medicine left then really

If you call Data Science a science

The truth is you could do the hard subjects: Physics, Maths, Chemistry and such and still be on the 27k starting -> 40k with years of experience. It's basically the standard situation xD. The only outliers which are science related are Biology (since medicine), Computer Science (since tech and the internet) and Engineering. Basically, you have to be a beast to get a high salary from a hard science subject, it's in no way guaranteed.
Data Science and Machine Learning are nice little cross-sections right now though, which the Physics, Maths and Computer Science peps may use to make some comparative bank (usually means working in the finance or app sectors).
