In short, a particle counter is a precision laser instrument. Very tight calibration is required at all times, during normal use, and throughout its life. QA Managers absolutely do not want to use a particle counter when its calibration constantly drifts from the moment you turn the device on.The only plausible reason one might want to have a handheld particle counter in an FDA or GMP cleanroom is when an anomalous sample is detected.A Managers absolutely do not want to use a particle counter when its calibration constantly drifts from the moment you turn the device on.

A master's degree in finance commands an even higher starting salary than a bachelor's. According to NACE, those graduating with a master's in finance earned an average of $73,000 per year to start in 2012.
Joseph Wang, Ph.D. Computational Astrophysics, ex-VP investment bank Answered Apr 20, 2013 If your programming skills are very good, then there are jobs in quantititative finance. The typical salaries start at $100K-$120K, but usually go up to about $200K with three to five years of experience. The one catch is that you have to move to NYC. The other thing about finance is that the glass ceiling is extremely high. There are people with science and engineering Ph.d.'s at the managing director level, that make more than $1M/year. The bad news is that your odds of getting promoted into a position that makes $1M/year is rather low (i.e. maybe 1 in 50). On the other hand, I can't think of any other fields where a science Ph.d. has a 1 in 50 shot of making over $1M/year.
