An Important Choice
An Important Choice
A science graduate choosing an employer faces one of his most important research assignments. There is more at stake for a prospective scientist than for most people because his first choice may well determine the direction and success of his life's work. Science is a calling not just a job. Education for it represents a considerable investment in time, money and energy, which must pay dividends in achievement and satisfaction. To make such an important choice the prospective scientist must have all the facts about employment opportunities and he must use them to make a sound and informed decision. To help readers give working for New Zealand's largest scientific institutions the consideration it deserves, the State Services Commission outlines on this page the facts about science in the Public Service.
