      Yeh I think so! Firstly, I love my job and I think it is very important to enjoy what you are doing. This particular position might not be what I want to do forever, but just now it is good.

      Secondly, you get to research something and learn about something that is unknown. I love this because you can potentially make your own discovery and contribute to a better understanding of something. To find something new in our crazy world is quite extraordinary I think! And it can also have potential to help cure a disease or better understand how the most intricate system (the human body) works!!

      Absolutely! You can help shape the world we live in, improve peoples lives and understand more about the universe! In lots of science careers you’re going to look for something that no one knows about – you’re going to discover something new. You’re pushing the very boundaries of knowledge itself! That’s pretty cool, right?😎

      For sure, mate!
      First reason- you get paid to solve puzzles!. Science is all about thinking and solving puzzles and mysteries..and who doesn’t like puzzles, yeah?

      And the other important thing to remember about science is- it was made by humans to understand and improve the world they live in…so with everyday’s work, you are really and truly helping to make the world a much better place!
