Notes
The following questions refer to <science-related careers>. A <science-related career> is one that requires studying science at tertiary level (e.g. university). So, 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 <science-related careers>.
