10. Geoscientist:
Concerned with the study of the earth’s structure, geoscientists analyze the composition of natural materials like rocks to understand their natural mineral and energy resources. These scientists play an important role in modern cities, assessing the suitability of particular areas of land for major engineering projects like dam or tunnel building.

9. Atmospheric And Space Scientist:
Atmospheric and space scientists are sometimes also known as forecasters or meteorologists. These scientists investigate atmospheric changes gathered by sensors in order to prepare reports for public consumption on the weather and climate. This role, while science-based, sometimes carries responsibilities in front of the camera for media broadcast. To get started in this career, you’ll need at least a bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject area.

8. Aerospace Engineering:
You’ve probably heard the phrase “you don’t need to be a rocket scientist!”, but for this career, you do! It’s literally what they are. Well, okay — maybe not strictly rocket scientists, but you’ve got the option. Aerospace engineers design and develop navigation, communication and sometimes weapons systems, researching ways to make components as fuel-efficient and drag-free as possible. They collect and analyze test data and write technical reports to estimate project costs and timescales

7. Nuclear Engineering:
#WomenIn Science…Nuclear power stations are a sustainable way of generating power with minimal impact on the environment. But this method of power generation is not risk-free. And the job of mitigating those risks falls to nuclear engineers. These scientists are involved in the design and building of new plants, as well as the general maintenance and monitoring of existing ones. They are responsible for measuring and monitoring radiation levels to ensure that the plant meets legal requirements around health, safety and environmental impact.

6. Pharmacists:
Pharmacists are experts in medicines and medical appliances. These scientists work with medical teams to identify the best course of medication to address a diagnosis. As well as giving advice, pharmacists dispense medicines to patients and prescribe dosages. They have logistic responsibilities to manage stock levels to ensure that sufficient amounts of individual medicines are available for use at all times.

5. Astronomer:
Astronomers are scientists of the stars. These scientists study the origin and composition of the universe, from individual stars or planets all the way to entire galaxies. They analyze data obtained from satellites and spacecrafts, as well as images from telescopes, and compare current data to historic observations in order to develop predictions for the future and help understand our place in space.

4. Computer And Information Research Scientist:
In an increasingly digital world, where millions of people worldwide have computers in their homes, cars, even in their pockets, computer and information research specialists have a vital role to play. Their work is concerned with the advancement and increased efficiency of technology. From increased computing speed through to improved information security, these scientists have a significant impact on our experience of computers and technology.

3. Physicist:
Physicists drill down into the basic composition of things in the physical world. They analyze theories and ideas, using computer simulations and mathematical modelling techniques, to understand how individual elements interact with each other. They are likely to be involved in research and academia, teaching in schools, colleges and universities. They also share their knowledge to work in publishing, broadcasting and journalism

2. Family Medicine Physician:
Family medicine physicians is another science field that needs more women to join. The practitioners of the field are also sometimes referred to as general practitioners — doctors of just about everything. They offer care services to the whole family, from babies to the elderly, and everyone in between. From colds and sniffles to referrals for complex care needs, family medicine physicians have an eye for symptoms of all kinds.

  1. Cosmetic Surgeon:
    Well if anything with the amount of plastic, boob, and butt jobs that happens at the moment is anything to go about then you would understand just why they make so much. The average salary for a plastic surgeon is $299,549 per year in the United States.
