What is the salary range of graduates and experienced professionals in the field?
In 2006, we collaborated on a survey of salaries of Canadian occupational hygienists (this is one of the professions commonly followed by our graduates). Salaries varied over a wide range, from ~$50,000 to over $125,000 depending on where the participants were employed (the sector and the location), prior job experience, and level of responsibility. There are some hygienists, for example, who have become corporate VPs responsible for health, safety, and environment. For those interested in an academic career, there has been a sustained demand for hygienists in academia for over a decade.
