      That is a good question.
      I was looking at different things.
      A career guidance teacher, after an assessment, suggested an applied science, like biotechnology. I had no clue what that was but I looked it up and thought, no, maybe not so much biology but it sent me looking for subjects that were more applied rather than pure – pure, maths, pure chemistry, pure physics.
      Looking back, I think I was really looking for Engineering science, rather than pure science.
      When I read about materials science, it fitted with what I thought I would really like to be doing. It was a EUREKA moment.
      So look them all up and see what you think you would really like to be doing.
