Question: How much are people genrally paid in your field?

This is a tricky question as there are lots of different jobs within wildlife conservation and research all with very different pay grades. Conservation in general is not the most highly paid field with many jobs around £20 000 a year, but there are areas you can work your way up to higher paid jobs within organisations or in ecological consultancy. If you stay in academia working at universities, lecturing and doing research you can work up to much higher salaries – but it really depends on what area of conservation you want to work in
