Indeed, pragmatism often decides our choice of study. But passion should be at the root of our education, and indeed our career. Learning should be enjoyed and experienced. Science is a beautiful experience. If you have a passion for science, I have good news for you. You can make a living from science! Science is important in today's knowledge-based society. The timescale from scientific discovery to technological application is shortening, and what took many decades to commercialize now takes only a few years. Just look at the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) which was invented in 1981; scanning probe microscopes are now an indispensable tool in research labs and industry. Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM) non-volatile computer memories are so pervasive today; the Giant Magnetoresistance Effect (GMR) was only discovered in 1988. Science is indeed |
the driver of innovation and technology, and is indispensable in the education of modern society. If you decide to pursue a degree in Science, you can be assured that many opportunities await you in your future career. Technologies and society will undergo many changes in your lifetime, but your training in scientific thinking and in the fundamentals of science will continue to be relevant. Our science graduates go on to careers in education, engineering, finance, business, information technology and management; those with higher degrees often pursue research or academic careers.
