      I don’t think there is a most popular or typical job in science. It’s down to each person which area of science interests them the most and which job would be best for them. There are probably thousands of different areas of science and hundreds of thousands of scientists!

      I have to agree with Ryan. Some people say that Science is all around us, so does this make every body a Scientist?
      With so many branches of Science, is hard to say which is the most popular type of scientist.
      Aslong as you enjoy what you do and achieve what you set out to do, then its fab by me! 🙂

      There is not one job which stands out as being most popular. There are simply SO MANY jobs in science! And they are all so different that you could never pick one to be “typical”. For instance, what would be common about the 5 jobs us scientists in the Iron Zone have? We all do such different things! But I think that’s kind of cool. 🙂
