Would it be better to live in a small town or big city when it comes to forensics?

I’m not sure where I want to live in the future and want to know if I’ll be able to find a stable job anywhere I go. #forensic-science #forensics #forensic #chemistry

How do you find a lifelong career that you will love and be passionate about?

I'm still young, in my early twenties asking for advice or helpful insight on finding the right path for me. I'm currently enrolled in a Jobcorps Center and am pursuing Pharmacy technician and or other trade work training. I have several small interests that I enjoy but none that I feel confident building into a lifelong career. I graduated from high school during the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, and I feel it's stunted my growth into a career. I'm interested in STEM, Language studies, Anatomy Physiology, forensics, Physical fitness, Chemistry, Woodworking, and Medicine. I'm artistic and investigative and wish to do a career that I find challenging and rewarding. I've traveled to Europe, Studied French in southern France, and interned as a sales associate in Ireland with a Designer Exchange Company; all of which were wonderful experiences but I'm unsure how to turn them into a career for my future. So how do I narrow down my interests into a career I will find fulfilling in my later life?

What are ways to increase your changes of being accepted to four year colleges, despite being from a low income area?

Another question I have is how can I stand out to colleges while being from a low income area that, to me, seems to limit my opportunities? I have had personal experiences losing great opportunities due to where I am from. #college #high-school #low-income-area #workforce #steam #stem #science #technology #engineering #math #forensics #pharmaceuticals #medicine #space-exploration #space #planetary-science #astrophysics #astronomy #career #advice

How difficult will it be for me to get into blood spatter analysis?

I am currently working on my bachelors in criminal justice with a concentration in crime scene investigation. If I graduate with just this how difficult will it be to go into the field of blood spatter analysis later on? Should I work on getting anything else regarding just the education aspect? #criminal-justice #blood-spatter-analyst #crime-scene-investigation #forensics

Can i pursue multiple careers?

Hi growing up ive always had three passions. Science, Movies, and food. I was wondering if i could have three careers? I want to be a forensic pathologist. Which is a medical doctor who figures out the cause of death of a human by performing an autopsy. But i also want to direct movies and become a chef. Is this possible? I feel like the only way i can be happy and succeed in life is by pursuing all three careers. Can anybody help? Thanks #doctor #chef #forensics #director #pathologist

How do I decide which career is best for me?

I am currently in 11th grade. I'm planning on going to college and I'm willing to get a PhD if it will have an impact on my career choice. My problem is that I have a variety of interests and I'm having a tough time deciding which path to take. I want to do something that will require me to be physically fit and that will challenge both body and mind everyday. I'm thinking along the lines of law enforcement but I'm searching for concentrations in which I can really contribute. I know it's not much to go on but I'm in search of many options. If possible, does anyone know what I can do in order to decide or narrow down my choices? Are there any websites that might help determine what is best for me? #college #biology #chemistry #law-enforcement #forensics

What is the difference between cyber security and forensic technology? Or are they the same thing?

I really love programming and information technology and I want to develop my skills even further. I also love science and problem solving so I think that cyber security or forensic technology would both be interesting careers for me. Are there other options? And are there any courses, colleges, universities, or majors anyone can recommend for me? #information-technology #forensics #programming #technology #cyber-security #science #coding #computer-science

What are the average requirements for a thesis or dissertation?

I am an avid writer, and I don't think a thesis or dissertation will be too difficult for me. However, this is a high school student speaking, so I can't really be sure. I'd like to know ( on average) what the requirements are in the forensic pathology field, so I can get used to writing with them. Thank you! #doctorate-degree #masters #writing #thesis #dissertation #highschool #forensics #medical-education

Is forensic anthropology the right major for me?

Hi! I've always loved forensics and once I found forensic anthropology it seemed like a good route for me. After doing some more research I realized it requires some math skills, math is not one of my strong suits so I'm doubting my choice. What is it like to actually work with anthropology? For someone who struggles with math, would this be the right choice for me? Should I pick another major? These are questions that have been running through my head.

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.
