Description
Definition
Science-related career has been used here to include careers that involve a considerable amount of science but are beyond the traditional idea of a scientist as someone who works in a laboratory or academic environment (like a nuclear physicist). As such, a science-related career is not only one in physics, chemistry or biology. Any career that involves tertiary education in a scientific field is considered science-related. Therefore careers like engineer (involving physics), weather forecaster (involving earth science), optician (involving biology and physics), and medical doctors (involving the medical sciences) are all examples of sciencerelated careers.
