      Yes! Maybe not my exact job just yet, but in general YES! Food science is so vast and fun and sometimes tasty!!! In my opinion is the best applied science 🙂

      I would definitely recommend going into science if you are interested in it. Depending on what are you specialise in, it s a fun job where you get to do different things every day while learning more about the world around you!

      Absolutely! Science is a lot of fun, you get to learn how loads of stuff work. For example, at the minute I’m learning about the chemistry of christmas for an article I have to write. It’s not really related to my research but that’s the great thing about my job, you never know what you’ll be doing tomorrow!

    Yes, I’d highly recommend it if you have any interest in science. But the main thing is to do what interests you most, because then you will do it to the best of your abilities & you won’t feel like it is a job (well, most of the time anyway!!). I don’t think there is any career that is 100% fun and there is always an aspect that probably is arduous, but on balance, scientific research is very rewarding.
