      The pay varies according to the profession in science. But I would say that none of them are underpaid. In research, the pay is quite good in terms of meeting regular expenses and also saving up enough.

      In Industry jobs related to science, the pay is very good and satisfying. In teaching, the pay is not as good as industry, but the work hours are flexible.

      So I would say all science careers are rewarding.
