      I don’t know if I will ever finish! As soon as you discover something, it raises even more questions so it never really ends.

      But if I had to do something different, I think I would like to work for a charity like the red cross so I could help people more directly

      Wow…what an interesting question. I think I would be a postman. My grandad was a postman and I always liked the idea of doing something that means I am outdoors and also something that is important!

      Hey there.

      I agree with Clare, there’s always more to find out and so I don’t think I could ever finish my research and feel that there was no more to find out!

      If however I could no longer be a scientist i’d be a vet because that’s what I trained as before I became a scientist and it was pretty good fun.

      I don’t think I’d ever finish, as I’d always have more questions to ask.

      But I don’t think I could be anything but a scientist! I had a career break of 3 years after I had my second son where I wasn’t a scientist, and I was just very depressed! Much happier now back in science! 🙂
