	What salary can be expected for an entry level geologist job in the oil industry? Anyone can look up salary numbers on sites like Payscale - I've already done that. But the problem is the numbers seem to vary widely from site to site, so I don't know who to trust. So, please, I'm looking specifically for answers from people with actual experience or know people in the oil industry only. How much can someone with a geology degree and zero years of experience expect for an oil industry geologist job? How much more money can someone with a Master's degree in geology, instead of a Bachelor's degree, expect to make? I'd really rather hear about your own salary experiences, or those of people you know, not just some numbers from some website.
