      Hi Jake,

      I wanted to play pro soccer for years and then realised I couldnt do it! Having no idea what I could be OK at, I stumbled into science for the Inter Cert and it went from there.

      Hi Jake,

      Yes, I wasn’t sure what to do after school and I thought about being a teacher or a writer. The great thing about science is that I get to do these things anyway and still do research 🙂

      Hey Jake, I did seriously think about working in Science Communication for awhile. I spent two months this summer doing that for a foundation. Basically you write reports and on the web on scientific discoveries and events, and take pictures and explain to the public whats going on. This could also be a cool job but I would miss actually doing science I think.
