Hi! May I ask what you ended up doing?

@@ivyisla2967I'm not in the field right now, but I believe Criminal Justice and Forensic Science have two different focusses. If you wanted to do both, you would probably need to get a double degree or do the two at two separate times. This info is probably no longer relevant to you seeing how the comment is a year old, but hopefully future people who are looking for answers get some help from this. Also, if you figured it out, that'd be great to know lol

Currently studying biomedical engineering and hoping its possible to do forensic science in masters

[@SuidySpud]

I'm undertaking A Bachelor of Applied Science in Forensic Studies at uni next year, cannot wait :D lol

[@ivyisla2967]

Hi! May I ask you an update as to how that is going?

[@SuidySpud]

Well it's a whole different kettle of fish for me now as I am also really keen on languages,.,., didn't quite work out with university however I'm getting keen and looking really forward to going to either France or Spain next year to soak up some language (:(:

[@miapagani5853]

hey was the forensic studies everything you thought it would be? What made you switch degrees?

[@SuidySpud]

Hey there Mia, life has taken many twists and turns since then.,.,.,currently getting super exciting to jump aboard an aircraft and fly over to Spain for the start of my 3 year adventure where I'll go to the United Kingdom and South America as well. Are you learning Forensics at University or?? (:(:

[@miapagani5853]

@@SuidySpud I want to do something in forensics. I'll be going to college through the military in about the next month or so. I hear the food is amazing in Spain! Have a safe trip!

@@ivyisla2967 Wow it’s been a long time haha I believe I was a freshman in HS when I wrote this. I finished my BS in biology and I’m working part time because times are hard However, I will be starting school again in the fall 23’ for forensic certifications in fingerprints and photography

[@ivyisla2967]

@@TheTrixman123Wow, hello! Thank you for answering back:) I’m going to a Public college right now for Spring 2023 and I don’t know if getting a major in Biology is correct for me to pursue being a forensic scientist. I’m not good at math or Chem.

[@TheTrixman123]

@@ivyisla2967 if you struggle with that Try to major in natural sciences that’s the easiest route. However if you major in bio, biochem, or chem it will prepare you so much more. It’s hard but not impossible. It took me 6 years to finish just my BS but I’m still moving forward

[@2_somebody_2]

@@TheTrixman123 Hey! A year later I’m facing a similar issue as Ivy and wanted to reach. I want to pursue forensic science as well (I’m currently in high school), more specifically in toxicology or DNA analysis and other things that are similar. I want to get a BSc in Biochemistry to do so so that I can have other options as well while working towards forensic science after graduating university. Do you know how exactly I will be able to get a job as a forensic scientist if I get a Biochem degree and how the degree will help me in the field?

[@buddhika216]

@OnIxXxInO 4 year chemistry degree is good enough in most cases.

I wanna do both is that possible??

[@anjolaoyelami7743]

If you want to be at crime scenes and work in the lab look into being a forensic science technician.

[@SuidySpud]

Hiya man, I have actually switched degrees now and am majoring in languages and such with an Arts degree but I'd still be happy to have a bit of a chat or whatever. I am actually looking at doing flight attending with Emirates Airline (either in Dubai, Sydney or London) :D

Good luck man I hope it’s fun
