      Hi,

      I don’t think there is any one most important field of science… All science is important! Science is there to help us understand the world around us and through this knowledge we get to invent new things, cure diseases, explore new territories.

      I think you should go into a field of science that interests you! A teacher once told me: ‘find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life’ and it’s true. If you find a science you love and a topic that makes you think ‘wow’, go for it as everything you discover in that field is important to help us push the boundaries

      All fields in science are equally important and often go hand in hand with each other. For example medicine has made huge progress with the help of physics and engineering. You should choose a field that you love the most. Think of your future job as your favourite hobby, something that fascinates you. I believe that only if you are passionate about your job, you will excell in it.
