i think the most exciting part of my job
0:01
is the ability to creatively think of
0:04
new ways to solve problems that we just
0:06
don’t know the answer for and as a
0:08
result we might actually get the chance
0:09
to learn something new about our
0:11
universe
0:13
if you’re looking for a career that’s
0:15
impactful and interesting then a career
0:18
in STEM is where you want to go it’s
0:20
taking me across the world and across so
0:22
many industries you keep learning
0:24
different things that apply to the work
0:25
that you do that is something that
0:27
really only a career in STEM can give
0:29
you

STEM evolves with you

0:00
stem opens up a huge horizon where you
0:03
can you can pretty much do anything
0:06
I think it will involve climate adaption
0:09
and mitigation jobs as well as the
0:12
emergence of further AI technologies My
0:15
first role I started in the mining
0:16
industry but then I pivoted and I
0:18
actually went into the computer games
0:20
industry The skills that I had built up
0:22
through that that career path actually
0:24
translated with me and that core study
0:26
in STEM really made that happen

STEM skills set you up for life

my future career looks bright and I
0:03
think it will involve working with
0:05
indigenous communities on restoring
0:07
their
0:09
country There’s a huge amount of future
0:11
careers that are emerging Of course
0:13
research and development that’s a huge
0:15
one But around a single robot you need
0:18
people who fix the robot You need people
0:19
who provide sales You need people who
0:20
manage the entire team I think that
0:23
there’s just a lot of opportunity in
0:25
that space that I think is going to
0:26
start to emerge as products are ready
