      Hi oscar,

      It’s no easy, but I find it really enjoyable and fulfilling. It’s one of those subjects that I think you have to have a passion for if you are going to do it as a job.

      On the other hand, anyone can be an amateur scientist – you just need to be interested in asking questions, and working out how to get answers. Oh, and you need to be the sort of person who is willing to change your view of things depending on the answers!
