      Hmm, There are some jobs about communicating science – journalism, or roles involving marketing or documenting what we do. I’d consider what you enjoy doing as well. Writing manuals and books is really important, but for me it’s always something I struggle to stay interested in.
      Teaching is important and needs good understanding of the subjects and the ability to communicate. It’s difficult to give a full answer without knowing you.

      The best piece of advice I could give you is to do something you enjoy! I feel extremely fortunate to have a job that I enjoy (although I’m pretty sure any job you do is going to have rubbish days!).

      Like Alex said do what interests you! You don’t need to be a mathematical genius to be an Engineer or a Scientist, so don’t rule those options out.
