How much does one beginning their professional career in psychology and law typically get paid?
Salaries for psychologists will vary widely according to the setting and type of work. Generally, those with a doctoral degree will make more than those with a masters degree. See the section on “Salaries and Compensation” in the “Overview of Psychology and Law” document available from the student section http://www.ap-ls.org/academics/careersoverview.html) of the AP-LS website for more specific information. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is typically a good, up-to-date source for this type of information (search the Occupational Outlook Handbook at the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (http://stats.bls.gov/) using the desired occupation (e.g., “psychologist,” “professor”) as a search term). If you are pursuing an academic position, The Chronicle of Higher Education (http://www.chronicle.com) has salary information for most academic institutions (also check out the following website to figure out if you can live on what you are being offered (http://www.paycheckcity.com/
