A scientist is quite a generic term and could cover all sorts of careers for example, you could be a scientist in genetics or astronomy.
I studied medical engineering and it was the best thing I did. When I was in year 12 I had no idea what an engineer would involve but I went for it being told that it was a mix between science and art (quite true). You will get involved in design at some stage and there will be a lot of mathematics involved.
Depending on your interests you could be a mechanical, chemical, electrical or aerospace engineer. You could end up being the brains behind space shuttles, missiles and aeroplanes if that's your interest, work with cars or prosthetic implants like I did. The possibilities with engineering are endless.
