Is it realistic to pursue a career in forensics?

I am in in 11th grade and at the moment I want to pursue a career in forensics, probably forensic anthropology, but I want to know how realistic this is. Are there jobs available ? How competitive is the field? Do I need to have a masters or phd in the field to be competitive ? Should I pursue a bachelor’s in forensics or do something broader? What skills outside of academics made the biggest difference in your career?
