      I always wanted to be a Pathologist when I was younger. This is a Doctor that looks at dead bodies to see how they died. I always thought it was really interesting and loved watching programmes like Quincy (you probably won’t remember Quincy!) Although I suppose this is a kind of scientist…

      I wanted to be a Vet for a very long time. Also I wanted to be in a band, and I was for a time but sadly we must have sucked, because nobody really liked us very much!

      I wanted to be a zookeeper when I was young. Then for a long time I had no idea what I wanted to be. Sometimes I still don’t know for sure, but on the whole I enjoy science, so I think I’ll stick at it for the moment!

      I always wanted to be a scientist, at least as soon as I knew what a scientist was. There is a picture I drew in 3rd grade where I drew myself as a scientist with bubbling lab flasks and all that. So, pretty boring, but I always just wanted to be what I am now. And Katie, I do remember Quincy and loved it! Looks like we have the same tastes in movies!

      I thought maybe a wanted to be a lawyer when I was leaving school, but I got so interested in science that I soon forgot about that idea. I did change my mind about what kind of scientist I wanted to be though. At first I wanted to be a geneticist, but now I’m a psychologist.
