Our masters level biostatisticians hire in at about $60K per year. Not a bad entry level job. They then pay for you to get your PhD and you bump up to around $120K per year with bonuses for getting grants and publishing. Pharmaceutical companies pay even more. You won't be super rich, but you'll be quite comfortable. Our masters level Epidemiologists make about the same, with the same bonuses, and tend to get more grants. SAS programmers in stats start at around $50K and do most of the grunt work (cleaning up the data) for the statisticians.
Our PhD's also get 6 weeks vacation, unlimited sick time and get to travel a lot to various conferences, especially if they present.
