Hi, I have just completed a degree in Chemistry and in a career template I was asked for my short and long term career aspirations. I'm not particularly into chemistry so I'm not really sure what I want and see myself in the future in the chemistry field but I know that I'm interested in the environmental issues and healthcare. How should I construct my career aspirations? Many thanks.
