    5. If I do a science degree or A levels, do I have to be a scientist? No lots of industries want STEM


    graduates and you can convert your degree to go into Law for example or technical sales.
    6. Do I need a university degree to work in STEM? No – you can go through an apprenticeship
    scheme.
    7. How much more do STEM graduates earn in their lifetime in comparison to non-graduates?

    £50,000
    £100,000
    150,000
    £250,000
    Graduates tend to earn £160,000 more than non-graduates; whereas STEM graduates earn a
    whopping £250,000 more in their lifetime. Chemistry and Physics graduates will earn on average over
    30% more during their working lifetimes than other A level holders.

    it’s safe for people to drink

     A civil engineer/water engineer – managing water supply and drainage networks and installing
    flood barriers

     A geoscientist –searching for new water supplies and assessing safety and impact of work done
    by Civil Engineers

     A geotechnician – obtaining and analyzing samples and interpreting data to support the work of
    geoscientists

     A chemist – developing ways to keep water supplies clean

     A meteorologist – measuring and predicting the weather so people are prepared for floods or
    droughts

     A water quality scientist – maintaining the quality of water by testing and comparing samples

     An environmental consultant – identifying any sources of contamination which affect water


    supplies

     A waste management officer – managing waste so that it does not contaminate water supplies
