      Hi kiwicles, xlaurax, thegreenapple98 and xchloex

      If I wasn’t a scientist, I would have wanted to be a sports photographer. I love sport, both playing and going to watch, so being paid to watch sport would be amazing. Photography is one of my hobbies and when I was doing my undergraduate degree I was the official photographer of sport for Edinburgh University Sports Union as well as running their website. This was really cool and involved me watching and learning about a whole range of sports. Some of my photos have been used by the University of Edinburgh and also by Kukri a sports clothing company who used my work from Edinburgh on their website and on some of their posters.

      I also recently did my cousins wedding photographs and that is something I would never want to do again, as it was a really stressful high pressure situation, because if I had got it wrong and messed up, then it would have spoiled their day. Thankfully I didn’t!

      Hey kiwicles, xlaurax, tehgreenapple98, xchloex,

      Hmmmmm i don’t know really. I would either be working in a bank, as a chef or running a B&B. I know these are all pretty random but they are all things i have considered being!

      Hi kiwicles, xlaurax, tehgreenapple98, xchloex,
      I would probably have been working on a nature reserve as a wildlife warden as I like the outdoors and nature, but i guess that is still a bit to do with science.
      I used to want to be a dancer too when I was alot younger, I liked being on the stage and wearing all the different costumes!
