      Hi ellenmarie. No, I don’t think its right for children to think all scientists have to be rich and drive sports cars. Personally, I do my job coz I am passionate about helping athletes perform to their potential. If I earn good money alongside that, then that’s a bonus!

      Hi ellenmarie! I don’t think people think that scientists are rich, do they?! I wish I was rich! But no, Mus is right – we don’t do it for the money, we do it because we enjoy it. It’s much better to be happier in what you do, it’ll make you better at it.

      Hi ellenmarie. I don’t think it’s necessary for children to think that all scientists have to be rich with sports cars! I certainly don’t have a sports car and lots of other scientists don’t either. I think that if you’re a really famous scientist then perhaps you will have enough money to be classed as rich and buy a sports car but most of us aren’t!
