        Not necessarily! It depends on your idea!

        These days many young people decide to be entrepreneurs – they set up their own businesses and get initial capital needed to get things running by either crowdfunding through internet or a loan from a bank/government/generous parents. It looks like it is a very popular thing to do among people in my generation as many of us values freedom and independence at work. Maybe I’ll give it a go one day and set up a business which does something good for the environment and local people 🙂

        No I think it’s about being able to think out of the box

        No, you need a diverse group of people with different specialities – a scientist may be one of them, but you might need a builder or a business guru to make the idea work!

        If you’ve got a cool idea I’m sure you can make it work without being a scientist. Normally making things happen is just a case of finding the right people to talk to 🙂
