      Hi @lucysmith

      When I was doing my A-levels I got to do Psychology as a subject and I already wanted to work with children, so I went to university to study psychology. I didn’t know then that I would become a developmental psychologist, I thought that scientists were very clever people – not like me at all. After my degree I got funding to do a PhD and that is when I knew what I wanted to do.

      I’m really glad that I became a developmental psychologist. It is great fun.
