Job Satisfaction

General quality of life statement

When trying to decide what to do with the rest of your life, you want "happiness" to be an important factor to your career. In this regard, you can rest assured that those who study Physiology typically are quite pleased with their decision to enter this field. 

The salaries for Physiology majors aren't astounding, with the median salary coming in at $45,000. However, while the typical yearly pay won't make you jump for joy, the job satisfaction should. At 71%, you're sitting pretty high on the list (top twenty in majors).

Considering how many people leave work dreading going back the next day, that 71% means a lot. If you are interested in this field, explore your curiosity. You'll be able to pay your bills and live a middle class life on the money, assuming you fall into the middle category. If you turn out to score a sweet job that pays $75,000, then ignore the whole "modesty" thing.
