      I have no idea! I’d still being doing science and maths because it’s what I’m good at and it’s what I enjoy.

      But I’ve taken a lot of twists and turns in getting to where I am now – I actually came to university to be an engineer and then changed courses to be a materials science – so who knows where I’ll end up and if I’d end up there is I started again. Next year I leave university and I have no idea what job I’ll actually get. I’m actually a little bit nervous!

      I wouldn’t change what I’ve done and what I do for the world though. What would you like be doing by the time you’re 27?

      I think I would still be doing this job, but I would have started my training earlier. I did my first degree in English when I was 20 but I never used it and just got some rather boring jobs for 10 years. It was only when I was 30 that I thought about studying psychology. I wish I had done it sooner. But then I might not have worked so hard at it when i was 20!
