Career MythConceptions

What do tattoo artists, extreme snowmobilers, hair stylists, sour gas well operators, doctors, researchers, and radio jocks all have in common?

SCIENCE!

That’s right, all of these folks have careers that use science and science based principals on a daily basis.

Whether you’re about to get inked, pack up your sled, change your style, conduct a safety check, help a patient, uncover a new discovery or light up the airwaves, you need science to get the job done.

If you’re thinking of starting a new career, charging up a current one or changing fields altogether, remember that science is happening in Grande Prairie and can happen for you!
