Are jobs in science really decreasing, and if so, is it still a good idea to go into them if you're dedicated enough?

I've heard conflicting statements about this. Some people have told me that pure science fields (not engineering, just research etc) are getting harder to find jobs in. Is this true? #science #biology #jobs #research #chemistry #job-market

Where do forensic scientists work?

I know that many forensic scientists work in laboratories and even police stations, but who hires them? Where would I go to to apply after I graduate from college? Is it through the government? Or are there private companies that can help with private parties? #science #biology #chemistry #government #forensic-science #courts

How much room is there for me to grow?

I really enjoy team management too, so I was wondering if I would be able to be promoted or move up after so many years of experience. I would also need to know if a lot of team work goes on in the laboratory. #science #biology #management #chemistry #laboratory #team-leadership #teamwork #forensic-scientist

Are there only certain forensic scientists that are asked to go crime scenes to investigate and gather data?

I am physically disabled and I enjoy and prefer working in lab settings. I wouldn't be comfortable with going to crime scenes and having to be extra careful with my steps or worrying about how I will help gather evidence if I have to squat or be in positions that are difficult for me to get in. If a large part of this career is being present at the crime scene for evidence collection, I may reconsider my decision. #science #biology #chemistry #criminology #laboratory #detective #crime-scene-investigator #forensic-science

How does one go about making advances and making developments in their research?

I have always pondered on the thought on how someone goes about their research. I have questioned how many things like how many hours do you spend studying the material, is it mostly theoretical, is it conceptual, do you have to prove it, how many times do you have to prove it? Many questions run through my head when it comes to research because in all honesty I have a slight interest in it and I'd love to learn just more general knowledge about it, and how to get involved in it and how to go about it. Whether it be hours upon hours of studying DNA or researching electrolysis. I'd love to learn how to get involved in a research project. So I guess one of the many questions here is how do you get involved in research pertaining to different subjects? How many hours spent of this research is spent in a book or on a computer? Also, how many hours of this is a hand on experience? #science #research #chemistry
