Since A/L exams are going to start within next few days I think, I can see a lot of viewers for my A/L posts. So I thought of giving you a bit of encouragement. I am a student who did A/Ls from physical science stream (Combined mathematics, Chemistry and Physics) and currently a 3rd year undergraduate studying nuclear medicine at University of Colombo, Faculty of Science. People think (even I thought) science faculties are boring and teachers are the only products of a science faculty.. Well that's wrong.. You can be a teacher if you want to, but that happens rarely here. None of the seniors I know ended up as teachers. The product of a science faculty is a scientist. Most of the people go abroad for higher studies (usually they get scholarships) and others join research groups. That doesn't mean you can't do a job or earn a good salary. That is up to you to decide whether you are gonna study or do a job. Main goal of a maths student in Sri Lanka is to go to an engineer
