Can a person with ADHD become a detective?
I'm 17 years old, and I've planned on entering law enforcement for years now, hoping to become a detective that works specifically on a special victims unit. However, I was diagnosed with both ADHD and ODD back when I was in 1st grade. I'm currently on medication for both. I've heard online that people with ADHD aren't legally allowed to own firearms, which is necessary for a police officer/detective. Is this true? Will this affect my ability to enter my dream career? I really don't want to have to find a fallback career after focusing on this path and curating all of my clubs/elective courses purely on law enforcement.

What careers would suit me if I am interested in going into either a biology related field or a criminal justice field?
I know that my preferences may change by the time I have to choose a primary topic of study for college. I'm just curious if there are any other careers within the couple of fields that I'm interested in and could be researching at the moment. I like science in general: mainly chemistry, biology, and anatomy. Plus I've always liked working with animals. I also like the process that goes into criminal investigation. I've been doing research and actively learning more about crime investigation to see if I'd like to pursue it in the future.

CSIs, how often are you called into work after your shift ?
I'm a highschool student who wants to work in criminal justice in the future, and CSI sounds very interesting to me. But from what I've heard, you have to get up even when you're off-shift, work overtime, and have a very inconsistent schedule with minimal sleep. It's important to me that I'll have time to sleep and exercise after work, and that routine being disturbed sometimes is manageable. But I haven't heard about how often it would get disturbed, so I'm starting to think CSI might not be right for me.
Are there careers that incorporate Forensic Science and Criminology in daily tasks?
My dream career would involve criminal profiling, investigating, crime scene investigation and forensic analysis all in one. I'm looking for a career that is as close to that as possible.
I'm in 8th grade and I would like to be a police officer. Should I start learning cop codes, what are some things I should start learning ?
Any tips??
How do I select what I want to be?
honestly feel like I'm at a crossroad. I've been told to get a job that pays well, but to also get one that I will enjoy in the long term. All my life, I've wanted to go into the crime and investigation studies , on the physical side, but I feel as though that would be something that wouldn't be in the long term and I would find myself not enjoying as I get older. I also have been looking into real estate and doing that in order to make money at a young age to invest it early. But, my parents are pushing me to get a degree, so I was thinking of getting a management degree to open my opportunities even further. But, if I were to minor in criminology studies, would there be a bridge in order to crossover both of those things? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!
