Of course salary levels will increase with the years of experience

and graduate degrees. Most mammologists' yearly salary is $30,00 to

$40,000. Most jobs with Marine mammals are not as exciting as some

television programs make them seem. Some involve long, hard, soggy,

sunburned days at sea, countless hours in a lab, extensive work on

computers, hard labor, cleanups, reports, and different applications.

If you are a hard worker and like challenges this could be the perfect

job for you. It is not easy but you can accomplish much and feel more

confident about yourself.
