I just have always loved facts. I get pleasure from knowing what's happening. Oh, yes, if you want to be a scientist. It depends what you're doing. There are similar occupations that I won't name where curiosity might be harmful.
Scientists try to explain why things happen.
Why one cell becomes two. Why blue eyes or brown eyes. I think you're unlikely to make an impact unless you get into a really important lab at a young age, because you're unlikely to know what problem to work on. We had a nineteen year old boy living with us last year from England. He was doing the work of a post doc.
