      Marine Biologist, I’m close to that but would consider myself more of a marine technologist

      Also marine biologist! I’m not exactly that either but am reasonably close, more of an industry-focused marine scientist.

      Since the age of 7 I have always wanted to be a marine biologist and I am now living that dream as a marine scientist 🙂

      I never really had a dream job but working with animals in the zoo always seemed so exciting to me

      When I was about 9 I wanted to drive long-distance coaches. That feeling passed as I got older but I always enjoyed travelling and the sense that there might be something new to discover.

      I wanted to either be a doctor or some sort of biologist.

      I wanted to be an actor, director or writer. I thought science was for the boring set. I didn’t even know marine biologist was a job…

      When I was young I wanted to be a marine biologist! Then I wanted to be a psychologist, then a footballer, then a pilot. I wanted to do loads of jobs, but from as young as I can remember, marine biologist is the job I always went back to.

      My dream job was to become a vet. Even if I am not one today I am working every day for the wellbeing of animals and have worked with a lot of vets in the past.

      I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do when I was a kid! I did Maths and Computer Science at University because I was good at them and they seemed an interesting choice and then fell into my first career as an actuary because I was offered a job. It wasn’t until I’d done that for a while and was looking for a change that I spent time properly thinking through what I wanted to do as a career.
