When I was really young (5 or 6) I wanted to be a palaeontologist...
Then I went through phases of wanting to be a doctor or a chemist but throughout high school I had no idea. Now I'd love to do something related to chemistry/medical science.

I always told people I didn't know but maybe I did all along haha.
Haha, which one do you like more, chem or med sci?

Hard to say because I haven't done much medical science (sounds really interesting though), but I really like chemistry and I think I'd probably be sad if I never studied it again, haha.

They have a graduate program on offer at the Penrith Office. I know what's happening within the ATO at the moment as my dad works there.
Penrith is always advertising new jobs

What's your motivation behind being a police psychologist ?
I used to have a toss between being a police officer so that I could have a part in enforcing justice as i have a passion for what is right and wrong, and also as a counsellor psychologist, inspired by my counselling sessions and realised that i wanted to do the same- nurture people into their full potential. but then i realised theres those guys in cold case, csi, etc, who do both victims counselling and active policing. Boom. clear career path.

I wanted to be a farmer, I planned out my future life in notepads - how many barns I would have, what I would plant, what animals and how many of each, etc..

Now I want to do something in the healthcare/medical field. Not 100% sure. Although there are a few agriculture related things I might consider too.
