What courses should I take in high school should I take if I want to start a career in forensic science?
i want to do something in forensics and i want to know which courses i should take for that specific field. also im in 8th grade so im asking this before i have to actually pick
What career path should I follow based on the following information?
I'm an 18-year-old freshly out of high school. I'm not really sure about what I should pursue in college. My interests incline towards chemistry, biology, and psychology and I feel like I want to do something in the field of biology. But the thing is, in this field whatever I'm inclining toward seems like it wouldn't really help me with any placements and job opportunities, at least till I complete my master's in the course. Also, the earning also seems pretty low, specifically in India. I did think about going in the direction of med, but the competition seems way too high, and it feels very challenging so I'm not really sure about it. I was thinking about choosing between pharmacy and biotechnology, but in both cases, the placements and the opportunities seem to be lacking in India. What should I do?

What classes t take or neuroscience / biomedical enginnering major ?
I am 16, currently in 10th grade. I have selected AP Micro, AP Stats, and AP Seminar for my 11th-grade year, and I have chosen Environmental Science as a science class. I had planned to take a business major but I am also conflicted as I want to take a neuroscience or biomedical engineering major as well. I have only previously taken biology and physics for my science classes and I am afraid I won't be qualified for these majors since I haven't taken enough science classes yet (such as Chemistry) and I'm already in my third year of highschool. Even so, I wouldn't be able to take AP Chem or AP Bio since I don't have chemistry as a prerequisite. Should I keep my 11th-grade classes the same or should I switch some/all of them out? What should I take in 12th grade? I also want to have AP Micro as an option in case of a back-up plan if I need to resort back to taking a Business major.

Freshman taking Physical Science, and i can't take biology this year. I want to do AP Bio my senior year but do Physics, Chemistry, and biology too.
I tried to sign up for Bio, but during that time I was misplaced into pre-algebra, so I was denied. Now, I'm in Algebra 1 and Physical Science CP. I tried to switch, but she said I couldn't since it's a year-long course. I'm planning on doing a major in bio-med, but I need to finish biology, physics, and chemistry. How can I do all of those and do AP Bio? I feel if I did AP bio it would look better in college applications and I would get more experience from that. Would it be better if I did it during the summer?

How recommended is it to take AP Chemistry in high school?
I want to pursue a career in the medical field (specifically psychology, pediatrics, neurology, or psychiatry), but I also want to take many elective courses that I will enjoy in high school. For that, I won't have room in my schedule to take AP Chem, since it takes up two periods. I am also worried about the workload and the difficulty of the course, since I've heard it's one of the hardest AP courses to take. However, how much will taking it help build a foundation of knowledge for taking the MCAT? If it is enough, I may consider taking it.
What careers should I look into if I'm interested in chemistry especially forensic chemistry?
I've been interested in chemistry since I was a little kid because it gives me insight as to how the world really works on the molecular level. I like forensic because I get to solve challenging problems. Science and math are my best subjects at school and I enjoy tasks that require critical thinking. I want to be challenged and my work to make a positive impact.
