Because all the cool people study the biological sciences

For the same reason many kids and teenagers wanted to be astronauts at one time - At least that's what it was for me: The drive to be on the frontier of human discovery and accomplishment.
Of course, the reality, in both cases, slaps people on the face with a large trout.Comment

Fear not, my friend, this is a part of current life for people who wanted to be "real scientists" and achieve greatness: I am pondering my GMAT and MBA already.Originally posted by Provost Harrison

I want to do Chemistry/Biochemistry/Natural Science at Uni as they are the only things that I have a decent amount of skill at...You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Sure it does.
Biology is portrayed as the coolest science in current movies and books ( not sci-fi, but action) and is acknowledged as the one facing and fighting the greatest human fear, the fear of death and aging, for example.Comment

get a Bachelor's in biology or stuff, and unless you're accepted by the top heads of the field as a grad student, don't bother. That's what me thinks, personally.Comment

I got out of research, I felt it was a road going nowhere for me...I've done alright since and I've struck a nice big vein of ambition too

But in doing what, really?
research is the essense of scientist's work. That and development, maybe. All the rest is bad. At least that's my POV.Comment

got to get into Uni first though. That is the problem...You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

I've got an interview tomorrow for a paid studentship over the summer working on a project isolating, identifying, and cataloguing microRNA (miRNA) fragments involved in gene regulation of model organisms.
Starchild <----- NervousExult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
