      Hi Lily, I have a top three for this question.

      1. Run my own business. I’ve had a few different ideas but my dream would be to open a small school for pupils who have been expelled or have difficulties following a mainstream curriculum.

      2. Post-doctoral position. After finishing my PhD, I’d like to continue researching and working with young people for commercial or government organisations.

      3. Work in academia. I did want to be a PE teacher but after going to university, I wanted to continue my own education. Working as a lecturer in a university would allow me to teach and continue researching.

      Having said all that, this is the classic philosophical question and I’ve changed my career choice many times before, so who knows where I’ll be after my current research!?
