      If you want to be at crime scenes and work in the lab look into being a forensic science technician.

    Hiya man, I have actually switched degrees now and am majoring in languages and such with an Arts degree but I'd still be happy to have a bit of a chat or whatever. I am actually looking at doing flight attending with Emirates Airline (either in Dubai, Sydney or London) :D

      I believe I was a freshman in HS when I wrote this. I finished my BS in biology and I’m working part time because times are hard
      However, I will be starting school again in the fall 23’ for forensic certifications in fingerprints and photography

      Try to major in natural sciences that’s the easiest route. However if you major in bio, biochem, or chem it will prepare you so much more. It’s hard but not impossible. It took me 6 years to finish just my BS but I’m still moving forward

      @@TheTrixman123 Hey! A year later I’m facing a similar issue as Ivy and wanted to reach. I want to pursue forensic science as well (I’m currently in high school), more specifically in toxicology or DNA analysis and other things that are similar. I want to get a BSc in Biochemistry to do so so that I can have other options as well while working towards forensic science after graduating university. Do you know how exactly I will be able to get a job as a forensic scientist if I get a Biochem degree and how the degree will help me in the field?
