      My job right now is 9/10, I LOVE talking to people all about electron microscopy and other science techniques.

      8/10, to research and engaging with students and people around me about my research. 2 points taken as I wish to have more time for my children. Sometimes my research takes me to exciting places like synchrotron facilities however children cannot be on site.

      There is no such thing as a perfect job… but this one is pretty good. I’ll give it 8 out of 10 🙂
      + Love working with super clever, brilliant people
      + Love science
      + Our site is really nice
      + Love that we do a lot of volunteering with schools and other programmes

      I’m not giving it a 9 because I’ve been doing this for 3 years and I think it’s time for a change!

      I would rate my PhD a 9/10. I absolutely love coming into work and thinking about supermassive black holes all the time. Everyone in my department is very excited about science and I have so many interesting conversations with professors and other students. I haven’t given it a 10/10 because we don’t get paid much as PhD students so we have to live with pretty tight budgets.
