BEYOND THE LAB
When you think of science jobs, do you think of long white coats and bubbling test tubes? Science careers don’t always have to take place in a laboratory.
The following jobs show how people use science in unusual ways to make money. Some jobs, like professional food tasting and beard growing, explain how food science works. Others, like animal training and human lie detection, show how behavioral science is useful. You’ll see just how unique, challenging, and downright adventurous a career in science can be.
