Average Yearly Salary

$44,000

$59,000

$78,000

The average fellow makes about $59,187 per year. That's $28.46 per hour! Those in the lower 10%, such as entry-level positions, only make about $44,000 a year. Meanwhile, the top 10% are sitting pretty with an average salary of $78,000. Many of fellows seem to be drawn to health care and education companies. Unless they care more about money, in which case fellows tend to work at non profits, health care, and government companies. Even the employees who work in these industries can confirm that's where the money is. Although money is important, a lot of people base their career decisions solely on location. That's why we found that Nevada, Delaware and Idaho pay fellows the highest salaries.
