I’ve always heard that the hardest majors are STEM majors, and that they require a lot of time and dedication. Of course, I chose to become apart of the STEM program. However, I was not scared because my love for math and science is incredible. I am majoring in chemistry. I once was very uncertain about what career I wanted to pursue, but after many years I am more than sure what I want to do. With my Bachelor’s degree I plan to become a forensic scientist. I pondered on many careers before I decided on forensic science.

My sophomore year in high school is what made me serious about pursuing this career. I had thoughts about forensic science before then, but it furthered my love for science. Growing up watching crime solving shows also played part in why I want to pursue a career as a forensic scientist. My senior year in highschool I took a forensic science class, and that is what made me sure that was the career I wanted. I think that it is truly interesting, and I enjoy it.
After further research I learned that a forensic scientist needs a degree in a natural science such as biology, chemistry, or in forensic science, or biochemistry. When applying to colleges most did not offer or have a major in biochemistry, but all had general chemistry and biology. Central State was a school that did not have biochemistry, but after further research I learned that there was something for me here. I learned that the school offered a major in chemistry, and after completion of the chemistry courses I could minor in forensic science. However, with a chemistry degree I would be qualified to work in any crime laboratory in the United States. Many undergraduates will get a degree in a natural science and go on to get a master’s in forensic

Forensic Science is an excellent career to be in, though to be in the career you must have a bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, physics, and natural science. Careers for forensic science would be working in labs, courtrooms, with the FBI, or with the CIA (Funkhouser). Therefore forensic science can be a very important part of a crime and can be used for many things and
When i grow older an ideal career would be a Forensic Technicians. Forensic Technician aids criminal investigations by collecting and analyzing evidence. Many technicians specialize in either CSI (crime scene investigation) or laboratory analysis. Most forensic science technicians will devote lot of time in their careers writing reports running tests and working at crime scenes. It is important for today's youth to to understand the education and training, requirements,skills,or talents needed to succeed in your career in life to make the decision of what you want to be in your life.
A forensic scientist can collect and analyze data from crime scenes, and train other law enforcement individuals. Forensic scientists can work in the lab, go out and collect data, or teach at colleges and universities.
Education is essential to become a Forensic Science Technician. In order to become a Forensic Science Technician a bachelor’s degree is in needed within the following courses: biology, chemistry, and mathematics
I would like to be a Forensic Science Technician, simply because I find this kind of stuff interesting. A Forensic Science Technician does many things. Four things they do are run ballistics tests on guns to find the one used in a bank robbery; collect evidence from a crime scene to help understand the chain of events; match DNA samples to reunite a long lost child to his/her family; and solve a crime by matching fingerprints at the crime scene to a suspect. One of the top reasons I would join this career is because I want to be able to solve a crime if someone needs help. The second top reason I would join this career is because I watched CSI all the time before I got too busy with school, but I still watch
Hello, My Name is Danielle Odom and I am a freshman at Valdosta State University. I want to be a forensic psychologist. For starters, I have always known that I wanted to do something that dealt with psychology due to my family’s “mental” state. It was not until my 11th grade year that I realized I had a passion for forensic psychology. There are a multitude of reasons why I want to enter into this career. Aside from the fact that forensic psychologists are financially taken care of, they also are able to get to the root of major crimes by talking to convicted felons and seeing why they committed the crime, this very sentence alone is the main reason why I want to enter into this field. Forensic psychologists are able to ask questions like:

The career that I researched was forensic pathology. The job of a pathologist is to determine a person’s cause of death by examining tissues and fluids from the body. A forensic pathologist does this as well, but they are trained to examine people who died unexpectedly or violently and to recognize other things that a regular pathologist might not, such as recognizing something as intentional rather than accidental. They have to determine who the person is, the time of death, the manner of death, and if it was accidental, the instruments which caused the death.
Universities and community colleges are able to offer a major area of study in forensic science. There are many colleges and universities that provide program for this job in Texas. Some admission criteria of getting into these colleges is to have a bachelor's degree in science or engineering field. Having taken classes in general chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, calculus and statistics, having a gpa of at least a 3.0 and having a english language proficiency. It takes a intelligent and educated person to be able to become a forensic scientist with all these benefits and the hard work
However, the specific career as a forensic scientist contrasts other careers in the biotechnology field, because it will be highly competitive in the future. To set myself apart from others as a apply for a job, I want to be sure that I enter a college with a prestigious forensic science program. This is one of the many reasons I plan to apply Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Virginia Commonwealth University, and University of Maryland College Park.

Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I believe in picking a career not based on the amount of money it makes, but on the passion one has for it. My dream is to become a Forensic Anthropologist. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved reading books about the human body. This naturally lead me to watch the TV show Bones when I got older, and I realized the difference that Dr. Temperance Brennan was making in people, both living and dead, and I wanted to be able to be a voice for those who no longer have one. Forensic Anthropology is a career that allows me to take my passion for the human body, helping people, and learning about the past into a morally and intellectually satisfying
Since I can remember I always wanted to work in the medical field. I started of wanting to become a Pediatrician, sort after that I wanted to become a Neurosurgeon, then a Forensic Anthropologist which then sparked my interest in Forensic Pathology soon after. After the idea of becoming a Forensic Pathologist circled my mind I couldn't stop questioning myself what steps I had to take in order to follow this career path. That's when I found out that I had to attend Medical School in order to follow this career. There are so many paths you can take in order to go to Medical School, for instance you can major in Pre-Med, Biomedical, Biology, Physics, Forensic Science, and so on. That's when I discovered Forensic Science as a major, and my love
For my career I chose to do FBI field agent. I want to do this because I always wanted to do something with the government. My mom worked with the government and got to meet tons of celebrities. My brother-in-law is in special forces and told me some things he did that I think is interesting.
Forensic science is a broad term that refers to the use of science or technology in a court room environment. Forensic science plays an important role in modern popular culture; the police procedural is highly dependent upon cutting-edge forensic science. Moreover, many people are aware of the impact of DNA testing on the modern criminal justice landscape. However, forensic science actually predates many modern scientific advances; almost as long as there have been controversies, there has been some type of forensic science.
