My interest in chemical technology
I studied for 3 years in an english-science biased class in secondary school. My favourite
subjects were chemistry and biology. We had many field trips. For instance, we had field trip
to Kohtla-Järve to see the oil shale industry and also tours to see the wind generators. This is
where my attraction to environment and chemistry grew together and I wanted to know more
about further job and education opportunities in this field.
I had a chance to be a job shadower at a company called ,,Orto", which is a chemical industry.
One of the employees who I was shadowing had learned food chemistry and the other
employee chemistry and environment. The job was truly fascinating and based on their
statements the studies of their specialty also. It was then, when I realized that it is something
that I would like to study. I looked into these specialties closer and went to an open days.
