What careers are open to me if I pursue a passion for Science?
Strong qualifications in Science are useful for a huge number of exciting careers, including the following:
Robotics Engineer
Aerospace Engineer
Astronomer
Animal Trainer
Aquarist
Biochemical Engineer
Marine Biologist
Zoologist and Wildlife Biologist
Diver
Chemist
Mechanical Engineer
Pilot
Pharmacist

However, many scientific companies also employ lots of people with good Science-based qualifications for more managerial and strategic positions. Whilst these people don’t get involved with the hands-on scientific activity, they still use their detailed technical knowledge to make well-informed and important decisions on everything to do with scientific projects, e.g. budgets and timescales.
Another growing area in this sector is sales. Scientific salesmen use their knowledge to sell bespoke products to other companies, and selling products such as adhesives, medical supplies, and chemicals.
Product and process development is another popular area. Typically working within the manufacturing and production industry, these scientists work alongside research and development teams, and use their expertise to develop efficient processes for the manufacturing of quality products, ranging from foodstuffs to cosmetics.
