Jason, an MS qualifies you for a GS-7 to GS-9 level federal biologist position (usajobs.opm.gov). State wildlife biologist positions generally require an MS as well. With an MS in biology, you are looking at a salary range of $32-42K.

I am nearly finished with my Master's degree in biology (anticipated date May 2010). But, scanning the job postings from the several days I have been subscribed to this listserv, I see two main categories: jobs for applicants with Ph.D's, and jobs for current students. I am wondering, how often are there actually openings for applicants who already have Master's degrees and are not currently students? I am trying to figure out my strategy for life after grad school, and this kind of information will help me to find the best approach. Jason Hernandez East Carolina University
