Is it possible to be a police officer before you finish college? Is it something I could do while taking classes in forensics, just to get experience? What are the best colleges for forensic science or psychology? Or even criminology?

I am currently looking into a career relating to forensics and criminology. I am not sure exactly what I want to do yet, but would love to explore options. #law-enforcement #forensic

How can someone get C++certified even though he or she is not a computer science major? Will having this advantage help with interview?

I took a c++ programming class and saw the benefits of learning to write codes for certain applications. I have a better understanding of how many technology work and the programs responsible for running them. I wish to apply what I have learned to the forensic field, but I do not wish to go into cyber. #computer #technology #forensic #forensic-analysis

What are the needed skill set required for forensic science careers?

I am a biology major. I became interested in forensics due to loving many science subjects. I became torn when I looked over careers that dealt with all the different fields of science. It was only when I took criminology that I started to look at the forensics field. I am really looking forward to being in the crime scene investigation field and will be going to graduate school for it. #biology #forensic #laboratory #crime

Can i pursue two careers?

All of my life i have been extremely passionate about movies. Ever since i was little i would always talk about them. Usually little kids would talk about sports or little kid stuff, i would always talk about stanley Kubrick, or Spielberg. I have always been very mature for my age. My dream every since i was little i wanted to direct and write movies. But again ever since i was little i wanted to also be a forensic pathologist/coroner. I always watch tv shows like Bones, and Rizzoli and isles. I would be my dream to be a forensic pathologist. I buy anatomy books and study all things forensics and it slowly but surely fell in love with it. But i cant choose between directing movies and becoming a forensic pathologist. I know somebody will say choose one and be happy. But i feel like if i chose one of those careers I will be depressed about the other. I would feel like i wouldnt succeed in life. Can i have two careers? #doctor #film #forensic #director #anatomy #screenplay
