PLP Task 4

The student's first career choice is to become a scientist which requires studying science subjects in school and potentially doing extracurricular research. Their second choice is to become a beekeeper which they would pursue by volunteering with beekeepers to gain experience if their preferred science degree does not work out. They selected year 11 subjects in math, English, chemistry, physics, and biology that they feel best suit their goals to enter a bachelor of science degree.

PLP TASK 4
My first career choice is a scientist. To become a scientist I must study as hard as I can for all tests and assignments in subjects related to my future career. In science subjects I will strive especially hard and will possibly complete extracurricular research to satisfy my curiosity and to help me in future years. A scientist is an extremely broad gender however I would say that a related job would be a science teacher. The education and training needs would include a working knowledge of Physics, Chemistry and some Biology. Knowledge of advanced maths is also assumed. Currently only Flinders University offers a bachelor of Science but UniSA will offer one very soon, (before I graduate). My second career choice is beekeeping. Although Im not expecting to become a beekeeper because Im so focused on the Bachelor of Science, I still think it is good to have a backup. Before I become a beekeeper, I want to still try to do the Bachelor of Science. If that doesnt appeal to me or just doesnt work out I can consider beekeeping. There arent really many jobs related to beekeeping There arent any degrees or training programs for beekeeping in Australia however if I chose to become a beekeeper, I would volunteer to work with as many beekeepers as possible to gain knowledge and experience. I have decided to choose the following year 11 subjects; maths A, B, C, D, two semesters English, two semesters Chemistry, two semesters Physics and 1 semester Human Biology. That is 11 subjects in total, plus the research project, which means that I will miss out on 1 mentoring subject in semester 1. I chose these subjects because I think they will best suit my career goals. I dont think that PLP has helped me at all in choosing new subjects, as I already knew what I wanted to do. The PDF file with the subject connections and credits for each subject helped me choose exactly which subjects, however, if I would have been given the subject selection sheet for next year at the same time, I would have chosen the same subjects without help. I will still need to decide whether I will do 4 or 5 subjects in year 12 but I have all of next year to decide and see how I cope with the workload. If it doesnt work out I can always drop a subject. I am aiming for an ATAR of over 95 so that I can get into an advanced bachelor of science instead of a normal one. I will work toward this goal throughout the rest of my schooling life.
