Science
Scientific knowledge can lead to the typical careers in research and development or it can lead to others that have more to do with:
- Public outreach and education
- Policy-making decision – in government or private practice
- Promotion of your chosen causes
- Participation in the health care system
There are many stages that you will go through as you develop a career path. Your path may change dramatically or alter slightly as you explore new ideas and gain exposure to job and industry information. We can help you use that information and your knowledge about your skills and competencies to make decisions about choosing a program, gaining meaningful skills and experience and finally gaining meaningful employment.
Matching your interest area with a science degree can help ensure a satisfying career where you feel you can make the kind of impact you anticipated in your community while staying in touch with the academic and work skills you enjoy.
Consider starting your career while you are still in university: get to know your professors, gain some part time science experience in the labs or other university or research related work and start becoming familiar with the funding structures and bodies that are available to you. From there your inside knowledge will help you get more meaningful work faster.
