      It involves a lot of work, but if you are passionate about science, if you are curious about nature, than it is fun! Scientists are humans too. They have a life. Universities struggle to offer a good work-life balance.

      It’s sometimes hard to get your head around some strange concepts, or to do a big long mathematical sum. But the majority of the time you’ll feel proud that you know a little bit more about the world than the next person, so it’s all worth it!

      Yes and no, I do think that working in a mine is harder than being a scientist – would you agree with me?
