      Well, unfortunately it takes a while, but it’s worth it in my opinion. First you have to study sciences at school and get good grades… Then you pick the type of science that you’re most interested in and study that at a university… Then if you do well and still find it really interesting, you can keep studying for a PhD. This is like ‘scientist training’ and you’ll learn how to do your own research and lots of other things. Then you can get a job at a university or a company that solves science problems, but the main thing is to enjoy the process of course. 🙂
