It’s only been my dream job since I was about 21, before that I didn’t really know what being a scientist was about and so I didn’t consider it as a job! But then I didn’t really know what I would do instead – still something in science hopefully. Maybe a science teacher?
I fell into being a scientist. I’ve always just done stuff I enjoyed and that led me to my job as a scientist.
The best thing is that you spend all day doing experiments and thinking up new ones. You are really flexible in your work and you are your own boss. I don’t think it comes any better than that.
And if you like microscopes, you get to look at amazing things all day too. We run placements here at my university…. job experience! Great for the future prospects
