• Question: Do you think you have a good amount of pay for the job you do? What hours do you work? Do you ever get stressed? Is it a fun job overall?

      Hello eggy169! Many people think that scientists don’t get paid very well, but if you compare our pay to what other people get paid it’s actually very good. I work between 9 and 10 hour per day and I usually work on weekends too. Like everyone I do get stressed but I try to relax by going to the gym, swimming, seeing my friends, and playing with my cat Grey. I love my job and can’t really imagine doing anything else! I feel very lucky.
