<p>A recent study from <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/data/free/2016-data-science-salary-survey.csp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="http://www.oreilly.com/data/free/2016-data-science-salary-survey.csp">O’Reilly </a>found that data science is a wide field with many specializations and job descriptions. However, the average earning of an <em>employed </em>data scientist—45% of all respondents would consider themselves as such—is between $60,000 and $110,000. This means that experienced data scientists over time quite certainly reach six-figure income levels if they keep improving and searching for new opportunities. Here’s a screenshot from the report showing the different routes you can go:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_5277"><img src="https://datasciencedegree.wisconsin.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Screen-Shot-2017-08-28-at-2.38.03-PM.png" alt="data scientist salary" class="wp-image-5277"/><figcaption>Source: <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/data/free/2016-data-science-salary-survey.csp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">O’Reilly Salary Data Science Salary Report, 2016</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>You can see that there are significant opportunities “down the line” by working as an architect, team leader, or manager that earn significantly above six-figures. Becoming an employed data scientist remains an attractive way to make a great living. </p>
<p><strong>But what about freelance data scientists? Do they earn more? </strong></p>
<p>The best data comes directly from the source: Upwork, the biggest freelancer market in the world. Let’s dive into some profiles from freelance data scientists!</p>

<p class="has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background">The tabular data is drawn from 100 Upwork freelancer profiles as they appeared in the Upwork search. We randomly chose profiles and filtered them for data availability (e.g., total money earned). The result is that the average freelance data scientist earns $96 per hour. For 1700 working hours per year and a full schedule, this results in an average annual income of <strong>$163,200</strong>. To accomplish this, you need to join the ranks of relatively high-rated freelancers above 90% job satisfaction.</p>
<p>Let’s have a look at some other data sources: As a data scientist, you’re a programmer—in a way. The demand for programming talent has steadily increased in the preceding decades.</p>
