      I just always wanted to do science, so I really made the decision at age 8 or so. My parents were a bit worried that this career would make it hard to get a job – they were right, it’s not easy at all. So for a short couple of weeks after graduating from school I thought I might be a vet instead, but then ditched the idea again and chose science. No regrets!
