I'll go further...free-lancing for scientists you'll be on student wages
basically, (unless you get into the biomedical world? - the people in white
coats).  But it is a start.  There are a few hard money jobs out there;
other than that get into something besides having the primary researchers
signing the checks.  I'm not cynical, I love this work, just trying to be
realistic.
