how do degrees in sciences and philosophy make money?

956 views

All I understand is research scientists do some research and publish a paper. Do they get for the publishing? Or is it all grant based for wherever they are researching at? What about a philosophy major? Where would they even work, and get paid for what?

Most people who get degrees of any kind won’t go into the pure academic side. They’ll go do something related, perhaps in a corporate environment, or they’ll do something else entirely that either wants any degree or no degree. The latter seems to be common amongst philosophy graduates…

Research positions are usually paid corporate jobs, paid university jobs, or grant-funded. Researchers hardly ever make money from journal publications (often, you have to pay to *apply* for publication). Honestly from an ethical perspective, journals are pretty shaky, and a lot of people believe they take more from the industry than they give.
