Geophysics Salary 

The geophysicists are paid well in those big oil companies. For example, the geophysicist salary range for Chevron Corporation is from 105,000 to 160,000 US$. If you live in Houston, you can have a very good life style there.
I am a geophysicist with 19 years experience. In general, salaries tend to be lower than day-rate consulting income. Domestic income tends to be lower than overseas work. In Houston, I would say up to $200,000 is possible (before taxes) on a salary basis. Working as an expatriate on a salary, $250,000-300,000 is possible, and it has tax perks (you clear much more than working domestically). Working as an expat on a dayrate, depending how many days you work, $300,000-400,000 is possible.

Geophysicist/field seismologist : Salary and conditions:Range of typical starting salaries: £22,000 - £25,000 with a first degree and around £24,000 - £30,000 with an MSc/PhD. 

Typical salary at senior level (after about six years), wherg the post holder is in charge of one or more major projects:>u> £40,000 - £65,000. 

Salaries vary between industries. Salary levels will be approximately 10% - 30% higher in commercial companies, such as oil service companies. 

In a UK office-based role, hours are generally 9am to 5pm, but you will be expected to be flexible. At sea, the working day is 12 hours. You may also be called on during your free time if there is an urgent need. Sea trips typically last for four to six weeks but may take considerably longer or be as short as one day.

Working arrangements vary between companies and roles.

Geophysicists who work in offices and laboratories can expect safe, comfortable working conditions and 40-hour working weeks.

Those who are involved in exploration geophysics can expect very different working conditions, which may involve time abroad or at sea followed by a similar length of time on leave and then the same length of time office-based. In an exploration role as a contractor, you can generally expect six weeks on and six weeks off.

Part-time work is very rare but freelance consultancy or setting up your own consultancy practice are real possibilities, provided you make the right contacts.
