  1. Geneticist is kind of a broad term, so it depends on exactly what you want to do.  There are specific programs in genetic counseling (a 2 yr. masters degree), genetic engineering, etc.  I think some of these areas require medical school or a PhD.  There are a lot of career websites that can give you more specific details (and salary info), just google "career information, or check out www.collegegrad.com.


  2. You have to first get a BS in genetics, then a Masters and then a Ph.D. Then if you are lucky you can get a job in a research lab or a respected university as a scientist/instructor and you will be making somewhere between 45 to 90 thousands dollars.
