Hi game393ham,
To be honest I was not completely sure what I wanted to be when I left school. I only knew that one day i would love to be a scientist and I just loved everything in science. This still did not help me decide what would I like to specialize in. Should I take physics? biology? chemistry? or mathematics? So to be on a safer side I took them all in GCSE equivalent course in India. By the time I completed this I was confused if I should take should specialize in chemistry or physics. I then spoke to a scientist friend and he suggested I take up both and hence I took up physics, chemistry and mathematics during my Bachelors and that’s when I realized I loved physical chemistry 🙂 and I proceeded onto pursuing a Masters degree in Chemistry. And my love for science led me to pursue a PhD too 🙂

When I was finishing my studies at school, I was still unsure about what I wanted to be. I was studying all the sciences and maths. I had great teachers that took me to see different departments at Manchester University. I got to learn about particle physics, astronomy, chemistry and maths. I still wasn’t too sure about what I wanted to study, and ended up accidentally applying for pharmacy because it was all about medicines. I am glad I picked this course, as I learned loads of really interesting things about medicines! It is never too late to decide what you want to study, but it helps to pick the right subjects.

I realized that I loved biology and chemistry when I was at school and that I would like to work in a laboratory, so that’s what I did.
I had it very clear since the begging. You have to sincere with yourself and know your strong and weak point and decide.
