You got that right! . . . I should have stayed in engineering, but NO, I thought chemistry and biology would be cool . . .

I graduated from college with two BS degrees and chemistry and biology only to find out that I could get paid more working at Circuit City with a high school diploma. So back to school it was, for 5 more years to get a PhD

And no, I seriously doubt SeaWorld is paying very much, nor do government jobs, or academic jobs. Like Anthony stated, to make any money in science, industry is your best bet.
