In what ways is a career in forensic accounting different and more or less rewarding than careers in other areas of accounting or business?

I am considering forensic accounting as a career and understand that it will require unique preparation besides majoring in accounting. I am trying to determine if I should add this additional preparation (additional coursework) to my course load while I am an undergraduate in case I want to go in the forensic accounting direction. Understanding how a career in forensic accounting is different in its rewards would help me decide. #accounting #criminal-justice #criminology #law-school #pre-law #legal-studies #forensic-accounting

Is a career path such as criminology worth it?

I’m currently a junior in high school and have always want to be a vet like a ton of kids when they’re younger. However, I recently started thinking about criminal psychology after watching “The Silence of the Lambs”. I just felt like that was something that I absolutely wanted to be. But I want to know if a path like criminal psychology, or even other careers in criminal justice/criminology are really worth it or not. Meaning: are they boring, interesting, emotional draining, etc.
