      Where do I start?

      You could be a science teacher and so cover a huge range of science (chemistry, biology, physics to begin with).

      You could be a doctor or a veterinarian.

      You could be an astronomer or a biochemist.

      You could be an ecologist or a cold temperature physicist.

      Or best of all you could be an epidemiologist 🙂

      There is such a huge range of jobs that involve science that I can’t even begin to list them. Christl has already mentioned lots of important ones, so here are some others to think about:
      Engineer
      Pharmacist
      Marine chemist
      Computer modeller
      Public health professional
      Astronaut
      Sports physiotherapist

      There are so, so, so many jobs out there for people who enjoy science! And sometimes it is difficult to find out about the one you might enjoy the most. And sometimes I feel like there is just too much choice for cool jobs I could do!

      As well as the ones mentioned, if you also enjoy writing you could be a science journalist or write for science magazines. If you like drama, or public speaking, you could work in science communication at a museum or laboratory. The list is just endless! I guess you just have to keep looking until you find something that really interests you.

      Luckily there is also a government site to help you, which tells you what you need to do to get the job and salary. It is what I used when I was considering my A-levels.
