Sort of, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do when I was at school, so I chose a subject to study at university that interested me most (Physiology, the study of how the human body works) and discovered then that I really wanted to be a scientist and to pursue this as a career.

Hi Yabba
My current job wouldn’t have been my first choice when I was at school, or even after leaving school. But when I applied for it 11 years ago it was very much what I wanted to do. I think it’s not unusual to end up in a job you hadn’t even thought of when you were younger, and you might change job several times before you eventually settle on the one thing that you really enjoy.

Hi Yabba!
I’ve ben pretty lucky that I’ve had the oppurtunity to do research and teach so early on in my career. I love explaining stuff and like being in front of a class. So that part of my current job certainly appeals to me.
I didn’t really have a definite plan in mind when I was finished college, but things seem to have worked out OK so far!Eoin

i guess i have always wanted to work in the aerospace industry, on something propulsion related. But when i was at school i didn’t plan on doing a PhD, or studying the exact spacecraft propulsion i am.
I think it’s pretty hard to exactly plan out your career – you just see what comes your way. But if the opportunity looks really good then grab it!! -

Yes, always wanted to be a scientist, and don’t have many regrets about choosing it. It is great fun, intellectually challenging, and all around not a bad way to make a living.
