Well I can tell you that I have a PhD in biophysics. I make a little more than my sister, who has 5 years teaching experience, but not nearly as much as my mom who has 35 years. The starting salary (nih regulated) for a postdoc is $38,000. when you consider that teachers only work 9 months, their effective salary is 33 percent higher than their nominal wage. You can not believe that if you want to, but it's a matter of public record.
