Science doesn't pay well.
Research Scientist:
The pay isn't great so you will need to really enjoy your work.
May 2014
Science Flexibility.
Research Scientist:
Agricultural science is a tough path, but can pay well. Many scientists don't make it and that is tough when you've spent so much time in your education. Make sure your major professor is well respected and connected and has a history or graduating his students into jobs or good post-docs.
Agribusiness can be rewarding, but there aren't many companies to choose from which means you are restricted to some degree in where you can live.
