Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi, my name is Uri,
I need help with my science fair project if a scientist or chemist could answer the following question I would be very thankful.
1.How long did you have to go to school?
2.Why did you choose this career?
3.Do you enjoy your work?
4.How long is Your day?
5.Do you enjoy working with the people you work with

Hi Uri,

Although I'm retired now I worked as a chemist in the research and development department of a consumer product company.

1. After high school, I was in undergraduate and graduate schools for about 5 years. I earned bachelor and master of science degrees.

2. I always enjoyed trying to find answers to questions and I liked tinkering with experiments in the lab. Also, scientists have a range of employment opportunities available to them so there's a great chance of finding interesting work to do.

3. I enjoyed my work very much. There were always interesting and challenging projects to work on.

4. A typical work week was about 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Sometimes the work required more time and for short periods my work week was more like 9 or 10 hours a day.

5. I did enjoy working with other scientists as well as colleagues with expertise in many other disciplines.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.

A. Norman
