ONE love, blood, life
I was very good at science at school. Extremely good. Shit hot, in fact. Mind you, I was good at everything academic at school, but at science, I was so far ahead of most people in the class (with one or two exceptions), it was just embarassing (for everyone else). Yet I didn't study science at university (when I say school, by the way, I mean secondary school, i.e. what is called 'high school' in the US. School does not equal college or university). I also have a few relations in the medicine and science field.
Bought a introduction to geology book two years ago. Still haven't read it. It's an area of science that interests me - but, let's face it, perhaps not as much as I thought it did, otherwise I would have read the damn book.
I know there are a few scientists on here - and I'm intrigued.
What is it that 'turns you on' about science? I do strongly suspect that it is downright the best possible career in the world - if you have BOTH the aptitude AND the interest. If you don't have both - I suspect - it's just a job, like any other. I had the aptitude... but it didn't quite grab me in the way it does some people. Even though I actually had some pretty good science teachers at school.
I've never quite had that interest.....wish I did.
