      There have been a few times. When I was doing my A levels I didn’t really enjoy chemistry because I didn’t get on with my teacher very well but when I got to university I really enjoyed it again.

      I didn’t do chemistry at A level either as I didn’t enjoy it at school. My job is a field I found almost by accident and now love!

    I did chemistry at A-Level but then went on to do a Physics degree, I ended up doing a PhD in the chemistry dept, but didn’t do much hands on wet chemistry – mostly seeing what happened with lasers and surfaces.
    Now I dabble a bit in chemistry, usually trying to grow and photograph interesting crystals
