So, my dream job since I was a little kid was to be a pathologist. I love the idea of being able to unlock the mysteries surrounding peoples lives and deaths by using the cells and tissues and organs that seem so similar within us all. It is like a giant medical puzzle that provides the answers to how people lived and died, and can help save lives and put away bad guys (because the forensic branch always seems the most fascinating).

However, this job is so far out of my reach I now have another dream. Currently, my dream job is some form of biomedical engineer - I'd love to work with the next generation of prosthesis and/or organ and tissue engineering. It's something I've always been fascinated by but not really considered until this year, when I decided to look at Masters degree programmes. I've got an undergraduate degree in biochemistry and some experience in engineering so I'm hoping to be able to marry the two together in one of the fastest growing disciplines in the world.
