      If I can i would like to stay in this field, I love my job! It is very competitive though, so it is always difficult to predict what will happen.

      I would like to stay in science but I’d like to do lots of different things. Soon I’ll be moving away from doing my own research and I’ll be helping other researchers to publish their scientific papers instead. There are so many things that you can do with a degree in science.

      Oh I think I will stay in science. The thing about this job is that it is always changing anyway, you are rarely working on the same problem year in year out so the career is always new and challenging.

      I want to stay in science. But that does not mean that I want to be a researcher or a teacher forever. There are many other things you can do (like working in outreach organizations or writing) that relates to science. Once you get the science venom, it is very hard to keep yourself away from it, I think. At least for me it worked that way, it is ‘real life’ to me… Thanks for the question, Hannah!
