Yes, industrial chemists make more while employed but their careers will likely end in their 50s when the company lets them go and they're unable to find new jobs due to pervasive age discrimination. Academic chemists, on the other hand, can work as long as they want to - many work well into their 70s, 80s, or even 90s. That extra 20-40 years makes a huge difference. Plus, the academic chemists don't have to constantly worry that some bean counter will decide to outsource the chemistry department to China where the work can be done more cheaply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-25067132475720875042016-11-01T07:07:19.015-04:002016-11-01T07:07:19.015-04:00Your calculation neatly works out to tuition for t...Your calculation neatly works out to tuition for two kids at a fancy private college.<br /><br />You also forgot that academic salaries are for 9 months, so they can often be 2/9 higher when folks are paying themselves summer salary out of grants.

Here's the ACS ChemCensus report definition for "workforces"): <br /><br />"Workforce refers to respondents who were either employed full-time, part time, as a<br />post doctorate or fellowship, or are unemployed by actively seeking employment<br />(excludes not working and not seeking, and fully retired)."<br /><br />I sense that excludes graduate students, but includes postdocs. Here's the other reason that I think that academic salary number isn't being dragged down by graduate students. From the ChemCensus report: <br /><br />"Doctorate salary ranges from a median of $130,000 for chemists working in the industry sector and<br />$79,300 among those employed in the academia sector."<br /><br />So if you exclude those without a Ph.D., the number goes up to $79,300. <br /><br />I think the reason the academic number is so low is probably the relatively high number of ACS members who are professors at B.S./M.S. degree granting colleges and universities. The median salary for those (see page 60: https://www.acs.org/content/dam/acsorg/careers/salaries/archive/salaries-2015.pdf) is in the 45k and 60k range respectively.

You're also going to have to save more in an industrial position to mitigate unemployment and, perhaps, be willing to live in more expensive places to remain employed (meaning you can't do what you would otherwise like with your life). I don't think this calculation is going to give unambiguous results.<br /><br />If you're risk-averse (and ten year-long education cycles tend to select for risk-averse people, I think), I don't think science is going to be an attractive field. Talking about (S)TE(M) skills and actually paying people to work in those fields seem to be two very different things, and at some point, money talks and everything else walks.Hapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-87935432019408176932016-10-31T14:28:21.205-04:002016-10-31T14:28:21.205-04:00I interpreted "academia" in that C&E...I interpreted "academia" in that C&EN infographic to mean everyone employed in academia, including students and post-docs, so I don't think it is a fair comparison.Joe Q.noreply@blogger.com
