Question: how long does it take to become a scientist???

Hello 775npug25,

You’re a scientist already! Human babies are scientists exploring their world looking at and touching things, all new to them. Once human babies start to talk they start asking questions, that’s doing science 🙂

Of course immediately after ‘A’ levels if you take a degree then carry on studies through a PhD you’ll become an accomplished scientist sooner. But you could also practice science in industry gaining practical experience that way.
