Some marine biologists may be hired on a project basis. Individuals

because of their specific focus and thrust in terms of studying animal
and plant life and the different ecosystems.

What determines the salary difference between job positions? Will experience affect the salary? How do salaries of marine biologists compare with marine service technicians salary? How soon can I expect a raise? How big a raise can I get in the first few years?
There can be several factors in determining a marine biologist's salary such as location, type of industry, benefits, type of project, degree attained and level of experience. If you check the salaries according to state, you will find that Massachusetts and Washington individuals get the highest median salary.
For those interested to work in sunny locations, you will find that San Diego and Miami offer the highest salaries. A marine biologist salary range can stay the same consistently during the first few years on the job. After about 10 years in the industry, you will observe the salaries tend to shoot up significantly. The salary of marine service technicians also tend to be lower compared to marine biologists. Marine service technicians can earn more than $20 per hour after working for 20 years.
