Should I pursue a career in Forensics if it is largely considered to be unscientific?
Hello, I am a freshman in community college, and I've been recently more intrigued in pursuing Forensics in school and as a career choice. I was feeling pretty good about it, but then after doing some more research online, it seems to be that most of what makes up Forensics is quite unreliable when it comes to actually applying science to criminal justice. Such as DNA analysis being unreliable, ballistics and things like threads from clothing being unreliable. I haven't looked much deeper into the reasoning for these claims yet, but I will say that they make me feel quite discouraged from pursuing a career that took a lot of thought to decide on. I still have time to change direction, but I would love to hear any possible advice about the validity of claims like this, and what I should maybe do going forward. Thank you in advance!

Professional jobs that don't involve spending all day on the computer
I'm a political science college grad with experience working in the courts system, legal support, and criminal justice policy. I've realized that I don't like spending all day on the computer, and most of the professional jobs that I've had involve a lot of solo computer work. This last semester, I was a teaching assistant, and it was really fun to spend my time teaching and attending class, and communicating with the students and the professor. I don' t mind computer work, especially if it involves communicating with others in some way, but my ideal would be about 3 to 4 hours per day rather than 8 or 9. I'm looking at what my next steps will be after the pandemic and wondering where I can go from here that will involve moving around and communicating with people. Hoping to get ideas for an area of work, or a role within an area of work that makes sense with my experience! Given my previous experience as a TA, I've considered some type of student support role in higher education. I've also considered criminal or regulatory investigations (or audit investigations) but I'm not sure if my experience would translate into that directly. I am also looking at admin roles in areas related to my experience that seem to involve a lot of coordinating logistics & communicating with others. Thanks in advance for your time! #criminology #law #criminal-justice #teaching #higher-education #investigations
