    It might matter on what country you live in. But in the United States the answer is the salary is the same. There are some differences if you want to be a DNA technical lead, which usually required a masters degree, but for the most part there is no requirement for a masters for entry level positions, and no salary bonus for higher degrees.

    There are also plenty of applicants now days, so if you got a masters you might possible standout from the rest of the applicants and get that first interview. Put a call into the local forensics lab near where you live and ask them what their policy is.
