      Oh great question megzzb,

      hummmmmmmmmmm I really like my job right now but if I could choose maybe an International show jumper who represents Ireland in the Olympics or maybe a supermodel! The first because it was a huge dream I had as a kid, which i’m afraid is very unlikely to happen now because I was never that good or had enough money to buy a super-duper horse! And a supermodel because I really like clothes and fashion!

      What would be your dream job?

      Hi megzzb,
      hmmmmmm….I really love my job, I almost can only think of other science related jobs that I would want to do. But I think if I were to not work in science I would want to work with people, I would love to do courses with people to help improve their way of working and motivation. I am a very bubbly person and I would love to be able to pass that on to as many people as possible!
      Thanks for the question, it’s really nice to be asked an think actually I don’t wnat to change my job!
      Pam 🙂

      Hi Megzzb, and Dan!

      Well, I’m not sure to be honest. You can hate your job and not think of a better one but then I guess you can love it to and still want to do other things. Personally, I’m somewhere in the middle, sometimes I wonder what would happen if I did go into a different career. I’ve had the privilege of being supervised by an engineer (as well as a chemical biologist), and I will admit that when I go into engineering I’m fascinated by structure and building. I do often wonder what would have happened if I had gone this way in life… But right now I couldn’t name another job I’d rather be doing than science. In a year’s time (when I finished my PhD and have to get a real job) I might have a better answer!!!

      I hope that helps otherwise 🙂

      Daz
