When I grow up

As a kid, I had always wanted to be a scientist. The toys I had were so hilariously geeky; I played with a microscope, a telescope, some magnets and things that caught light as a kid. I found it fascinating.

Even throughout high school, I brought science books to school and read them during roll call.

But what disappoints me is that there’s no actual occupation of “scientist”. Ideally I’d love to be one who just learns about the world for the rest of their life; who does it for a living, but that sort of job doesn’t exist. Science gets more and more complicated, resulting in different branches rather than a more “general” science.

I don’t know. But hey, imagine if someone wrote a book discussing the theories of time. They should call it “About Time”. Get it?
