    • Anjell 4:47 am on September 2, 2011

      $45K very general average for 1-3 years.
      If you’re in a bigger pharmacy/chain you can expect more.

    • nancy jo 4:47 am on September 2, 2011

      that’s a good range -salary is dependent on experience, location, and other factors. it’s no different from your job.

  • What is the average salary of a makeup artist that works in a salon?

    I currently work for a makeup store but am interested in working in a salon. I have a makeup certificate, so far I only do makeup not cosmetology or esthetician and I keep reading everywhere that you have to be liscensed as either a cosmetologist or esthetician in order to work in a salon or spa is this true? Also, how do makeup artists at salons get paid (i.e. salary, hourly, tips…etc)? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

     

    • Makeup Matrix 4:47 am on August 15, 2011

      In 2008, the overall average salary of Make-Up Artists was around $39,000 per year, according to data gathered by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

      Make-up Artists employed in the film industry earned the most, with an average salary of around $80,000 annually. Make-Up Artists employed in the broadcasting industry made an average of $41,000 a year, and independent artists earned approximately $36,000. Professionals working in personal care facilities, like spas and salons, earned an annual average salary of around $26,000.

      Another option is to become a freelance artist. Most of these professionals charge between $35 and $45/hr. Keep in mind that most freelance gigs will likely only last several hours at a time.

      Good luck and have fun with your new career.

  • What is the average salary for a medical bacteriologist?

    I’ve known that I want to go into the medical field for a while now. I pretty much made up my mind that I want to do Pre-Med and become a pediatrician. Lately though, I’ve been thinking about doing bacteriology. Why and how illnesses happen and finding ways to cure them is one of my favorite parts of science. So I’m just wondering how much money a bacteriologist would make for their average salary compared to a pediatrician!

     

    • Pooky 2:23 pm on August 2, 2011

      A scientist usually makes less than a physician.

    • Simpson G 2:23 pm on August 2, 2011

      Bacteriologist is not a subspeciality that really sees or treats patients. This is a science position, not a medical position, so you would be looking at doing a PhD. Salary is not great with a high of about $81k, according to this site: http://www.schoolsintheusa.com/careerprofiles_details.cfm?carid=414

      In you are interested in infectious diseases, then there is a medical speciality called Infectious Disease. You will likely earn more money in this field than in a PhD field.

  • What is the average salary for an insurance underwriter?

    I work as an insurance underwriter in the Houston, TX area and am curious as to what the average salary is for this position. So if this is your line of work or know someone who is, what is the average salary? The company I work for offers great benefits, paid vacation and PTO-health benefits and 401k but I think i’m getting stiffed on the salary considering my workload and job description. Any info is a big help!

     

    • Brian C 11:58 pm on July 20, 2011

      I manage a team of Commercial underwriters all over TX, including two in Houston. Their average base salary is anywhere from $50,000 up to $100,000. It all depends on experience, education, etc. Commercial underwriters typically are paid a little higher than personal lines or life underwriters.

    • mbrcatz 11:58 pm on July 20, 2011

      http://www.salary.com . . . but it’s going to matter a way, way, WAY lot, if you work for an agency, or a company; and what LINES of business you underwrite – plus if you have a degree, license, or any professional designations, and how long you’ve been in business..

    • Tom Z 11:58 pm on July 20, 2011

      Call an employment agency, fondly referred to as headhunters. These agents will not only tell you what the going rate is in your area based on your experience but they will also know you who is currently hiring. Most of them work on an employer paid fee basis so you won’t have to pay.

  • Whats the average salary for people that start their own business?

    If i started my own business, i know it could go bust, or could become a world famous company, but realistically, what is the average salary for someone starting a business?

     

    • Ryan M 2:22 pm on July 15, 2011

      People who run their own business are not paid on salary! In fact most business owners do not make a dime for at least the first year or two.

    • Dillon 2:22 pm on July 15, 2011

      demands on basically every factor you can think of….
      - what is the business
      - who is your clientel
      - what is the exposure and avialability to your prospective clients
      - what is the overhead and profit margin
      - what kind of investment is there for startup (is this starting by basically word of mouth and legal papers or is there a lot of investment money for things like advertising, buildings, employees etc)
      - how strong is your drive
      - what is the demand for your service or product
      - do u mean intial salary or salary in a few years
      - how much are you willing/able to be paid (can you make sacrifices to allow the company more money to grow or do you want a fat check right away)

      My father started up his second company, and went 5-6 years without getting a paycheck from it to maximize the companies profit and assets. Now the company is a powerhouse with no debt.

      I’ll stop there, but I could go on and on

    • Ed Fox 2:22 pm on July 15, 2011

      It is totally up to the business owner how much salary he pays himself

    • The Sophisticate 2:22 pm on July 15, 2011

      There isn’t one. It depends entirely on what the business is, where it is located, and how good you are at running it. That’s why starting your own business is risky.

    • Henry 2:22 pm on July 15, 2011

  • What is considered a decent salary where one can live moderately comfortable?

    What’s a normal salary to live off of alone normally/comfortably. And by normally I mean taking care of your needs and some of your wants.

    • not my real name 9:34 am on July 2, 2011

      ill say 2500.00 a month is good.

    • Airman's Wife 9:34 am on July 2, 2011

      Midwest, I’d say between $2500 and $3000, depending on what your taste is, what your spending habits are, and how much you want to put away for retirement.

      Where we are, a decent income is at least $60,000…we live in Hawaii and the cost of living out here is insane. A single grocery trip out here costs about double what it would cost in Ohio, same with gas prices and rent prices.

  • How to avoid mentioning salary expectations when asked to do so in a cover letter?

    I’m doing a job finding exercise for school. Our prof said to absolutely not provide a salary expectation in the cover letter even if it was asked for. Instead, we should find an intelligent way to go around it. For this assignment’s sake, I would like to find a way to not mention my salary expectations even though the job ad said to do so. Anyone have any tips?

    Thanks!

     

    • Prayera 9:34 am on June 20, 2011

      Most companies have a certain range for each position. So just say: "I know your company has a set salary for this position, and I find it adequate, compared to the job resonsibilities and the expected candidate experience" . Or just something along these lines.

    • PatV 9:34 am on June 20, 2011

      Discuss ‘benefits package" only listing the word salary if you do the same for health insurance, accrued leave, etc..

      Salary is a big factor why someone applies for a job. But it is not the only consideration when a position is offered. Think in those terms as you write some practice sentences. A cover letter is a brief introduction to yourself and your goals.

    • Prashanth Dandote 9:34 am on June 20, 2011

    • Top Gun 9:34 am on June 20, 2011

      Salary expectation open at the present time.

    • Ellis 9:34 am on June 20, 2011

      You could make some non-committal comment such as you are open to any reasonable offer. That puts the ball back into the employer’s court to decide what is "reasonable" in the circumstances.

  • What is the average salary for someone doing the Alternative Teaching Program?

    I am currently looking at doing the Alternative Teaching Program in Colorado but I can’t find information about the pay/salary. I tried to call the state and I got a rude lady who told me that it varies by District. I am just looking for ballpark numbers so I can compare it to a normal teacher’s salary. I am doing High School Science.

    Thanks in advance!

     

    • Mike S 2:22 pm on June 9, 2011

      My information comes from Illinois, so I hope this helps. The pay indeed varies greatly in our state, but since you’re looking for ballpark numbers, here goes:
      A beginning teacher with no experience and only a bachelor’s can expect to earn in the low $30’s.
      A teacher with five years experience and a master’s can expect to earn in the low $40’s.
      A ten-year teacher with a master’s can expect to earn in the upper $40’s to low $50’s.
      One caveat: in Illinois, these are NON-tenured positions. You are hired on a contractual basis through a Regional Office of Education. Yes, you’ll get medical, but there is no union or teacher’s association for these positions. You are considered an "at will" employee; you are at the will of your employer. Also be advised that the burn-out rate for these positions is usually 3-5 years.

  • Salary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

    What is the yearly salary of a teacher teaching in Ohio?

     

    • FB Math 2:22 pm on May 22, 2011

      My understanding is that salaries are public information, since we are government employees. You might have to search, but in GA, my school system website publishes the salary schedule on its website for prospective employees. I think it is also published on the Department of Education’s website for the state.

      Check Ohio’s Department of Education website, or look at a school system’s website.

    • emmett 2:22 pm on May 22, 2011

      I’m guessing – $33,500 a year with a BA and $36,000 with a MA.

      50K sounds high considering how depressed Cleveland, Youngstown, Lima and Akron are.

    • Jules 2:22 pm on May 22, 2011

      In 2009 it was $51,343.33

    • AbrahamGeorge93 2:22 pm on May 22, 2011

      $1

    • jpoweska 2:22 pm on May 22, 2011

      It depends on what district you teach in and how many years experience that you have (what step you are on). It looks like, according to the map below, that the median salary is 41K.

  • What is the yearly salary for a biomechatronic engineer?

    I’ve been doing a lot of research on biomechatronic engineering as a career option in the future, and I was wondering what the yearly salary for that specific field would be. I’ve tried searching on the MIT website or other sites affiliated with biomechatronics, however I cannot find any hits on salary.
    If somebody who works in that field could tell me what the range may be, that would be wonderful.
    Thanks in advance.

     

    • RidingTheLight 4:47 am on May 5, 2011

      I honestly can’t think of a more broad question to ask about the engineering profession. Firstly, that’s the last thing you should be worried about if that is what you are wanting to do. A career choice should be based on what you enjoy; what will make you happy, not how much you are going to make. However, depending on where you graduate from, what your cumulative GPA was when you graduated, what location you plan on working in, what company you plan on working at, what type of job responsibilities you will have, what your experience is like, etc. Overall, it will vary incredibly. But after saying that, it’ll be between 45k – 110k.

      The largest driving factors on how much money you will make will be what company you are working at and the location. A small market entry-level engineer will make 40k – 50k, while an entry-level engineer in a high-cost of living area will make 70k – 100k+.

      In another note, that field of engineering might be the most diverse. Just from the name, it says ‘I can do just about anything, but I’m not specialized in anything’. So I would look into if graduate school is a necessity. You will learn MANY things while studying biomechatronics engineering since it basically constitutes mechanical, electrical, industrial, computer and biomedical engineering all into one. You won’t get into too many specifics considering the integration of so many 4 year engineering degrees. I would suggest calling MIT, or any school you’re interested in, to maybe get a little more information about past graduates of the program to see if many of them have to go further in their schooling.

      Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • What is the average salary for a researcher in Sweden?

    I am considering moving to Sweden and I would like to get an idea of how much my salary should be to be considered as fair for local standards. My job would be as a staff researcher (not university professor) at a public institute.
    Any idea about the average salary for scientists in Sweden?

     

    • Spotty J 7:11 pm on April 29, 2011

      You want to be a researcher at a public institute, and you’re asking this on Yahoo Answers?

    • Tismee 7:11 pm on April 29, 2011

      here is a web site for wage comparisons in sweden:

      http://www.jobbsafari.se/cgi/cv/salaryindex.cgi?gclid=CPKr6snOlqgCFUWFDgod0DpFCg

      you will have to use google translate to find what your job is called in swedish. I couldn’t find staff researcher or simply scientist (too broad) when i scrolled down and don’t know any details on exactly what you do, but you may find something similar listed. Once you know what your job is called, highlight it in the first column. In the second column, highlight where you will be based. the right hand side is asking about your education, experience etc.

      Tax is around 35% and increases to 50% when you earn over 500000 kronor a year.

      good luck. If you have another query regarding the website, edit this question, and i will check it later.

  • What salary can I expect as an Entry Level accountant?

    I have an interview for a company that did over billion in annual sales in 2010, so they are a very large company, pretty sure they are Fortune 500. I’m not sure if they will ask what salary I expect, but I figure somewhere between -K. Is this a reasonable salary?

  • What kind of salary can I expect as an entry level accountant at a private corporation?

    I had an interview today with a private company as their new accountant. They said in their advertisement they do 5 million in sales per year. Based on the size of the company, what could I expect as a starting salary. I stated -45K per year on my resume. It sounds reasonable considering I graduated school a few months ago. Anybody have a good idea? I looked it up and I got all sorts of answers ranging from -55K per year

     

    • champ_85 4:47 am on April 5, 2011

      Many times a salary is calculated by the fair market value in the area where you reside. However, if their annual sales is $125 million, your target request on your resume seems reasonable. The treasurer/CFO for a company this size should make in the low 6 figure range, so continue to work on your education and learn as much as you can at work. Best of luck!

  • What sorts of salary negotiation techniques are taught to managers and bosses to screw their employees?

    I have been in a few salary negotiation meetings (when you have already been in a job for some time) and it always seems to follow the same pattern – the manager/boss gives you a few compliments and then conveniently criticizes you and basically makes you feel you don’t deserve a payrise; at the same time giving you some hope for the future. When you leave the room you are not any better off when you went in. I was curious what sly techniques are taught in these management classes that makes these managers an expert at wordplay?

     

    • TedEx 7:11 pm on March 30, 2011

      You don;t get a raise because you want it or think you deserve it. you get what you NEGOTIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

      This is almost standard procedure. They praise you, then putyou down..

      If you are going to crawl away with your tail between your legs, you are going to get nowhere.
      You have to counter with a good reason why they should give you a raise.

      OK! I am your noss. Now , you tell me why I should give you a raise. Go ahead , I ‘m listening!

    • Sean 7:11 pm on March 30, 2011

      If you want a raise, get a job offer from another company with a higher salary in writing and show it to your boss. Explain that you love working for the company, but you believe you are being unfairly compensated for your work. If you can’t get a job offer from another company with a higher salary, you probably should shut up and improve your work and skills until you can get a better offer. A company will generally not raise your salary for shits and giggles.

    • Clive Rich 7:11 pm on March 30, 2011

      I’ve been on lots of management courses but never experienced a module where they teach you to screw employees!

      However, it may well be that many of the negotiators you have encountered choose to be "users" – people who use others in the negotiation and are only interested in pursuing their own agenda. If you encounter these people its best to address this issue at the start. "Are we doing a deal here that suits both of us?" might be a good question to ask. If they say "yes", hold them to it. If they say "no", then at least you know what you are in for – maybe best not to negotiate with these people if you can avoid it.
