Comments about clinical research jobs and salaries

Just wanted to add a general comment about the Pay scale chart of salary ranges for clinical research professionals.
Generally a clinical research associate with around 2-3 years of field monitoring experience can hope to make anywhere between 65k-85k per year in the pharma and biotech industry.
I know Contract research monitors who are making around 150-160 k annually!!!!
A project manager would be making around 100 k with the same duration of project management experience.
Generally academic settings pay less when compared to the industry.

The most important career advancement tool is hands on experience,experience and of course more experience.
Having a Masters,ACRP,DIA or SOCRA certification might help in certain situations also.
