Yes, grad school is required in order to be a genetic counselor. Those salaries are in the northeast with a masters degree. I am basing this info on GCs that my D shadowed. I am sure there is a range.
Grad school is not required to be a genetic counseling assistant or a clinical research coordinator, and salaries for these jobs are 60-70 depending, with benefits. Teaching is the same (closer to 60 but could be higher, depending on credits), but you need a masters in NY within 5 years.
Prices are out of control!! I was at Panera last week and paid $24 for a tiny sandwich and salad. Ugh. I did add coffee, maybe that did it lol
