well i am sure someone else will hep you out as well. dr.danger, but i would like to put in my opinions.
About jobs opportunities, well the current reports say that those are ample. I am not sure about reality. But i guess out of India, like in USA, there are ample opportunities for scientist physicians, but if you get educated in USA in clinical research.
There are many jobs related to clinical research, and you may get employed by hospitals, or pharma companies, or labs or even government organisations. I think you need to google a bit about that. I will try finding out more.

About pay, i guess it depends upon your experience, your employer and the country you get employed in.
But for now i know that clinical research is in, if you are really interested in it. You can't go in it just for the money.
