      Definitely not, even at university when doing my undergraduate masters i swore i would never go into research. I am still not sure what i want to do next i know it must be science related though as i realised it is something i am very passionate about.

      Hmmm, I didn’t really have a ‘dream’ job when I was younger, but I did know that I loved science and thought that I would end up working in Science. So I studied the subjects that I enjoyed (Chemistry and Physics) and also Maths (as it’s very useful for science!). Then I just kept doing the things I enjoyed, like chemistry and engineering at university and I ended up in a job that I love!

      Best thing to do is to study hard, but make sure you are enjoying yourself whilst you do it and you’ll love your job at the end of it 🙂

      No, because I am not sure if I am qualified for scientific research in the very beginning. After being puzzled and solving the puzzles, I become interested in the scientific research.
