what are some benefits for this job (like health insurance)?

i am currently in high school and i need more information about becoming a forensic scientist,this source helped me althoug i still wishh to get more information about this career

I've been taking a look at a few of these comments and I have a few suggestions for all of you in high school. I am a senior in college right now double majoring in cell/molecular biology and health science human biology with a minor in chemistry. I'm planning on applying to forensic science master's programs in early fall. As far as high school goes...I was actually doing business. To be honest high school really doesn't matter. I was so worried about what classes to take and gpa and act ect., but honestly with a little effort it is easy to get into any school.

If you want to go into forensic science you must be able to get through calculus, so AP calc in high school would be good. I took it then but failed second semester and never actually took the AP test for college credit. I re-took it as a college freshman and it was a lot easier than my high school class. More important classes are organic chemistry that will really determine if you will be able to hack the science field. O-chem is extremely hard!!! My sister was planning on going to phamacy school but could not hack this class so ended up switching to environmental science. This is true for many college people that I know. Organic chemistry is pretty much the deal breaker!

what is the best degree to get if you want to become a forensic scientist

hi my names is gustavo godinez from california and i was wondering what you take in college/universities for this career? furthermore, i was wondering how long it takes to get your masters as well.

hi im 14 in the 9th grade. just started high school and wondering what classes should i take if i want to do forensics.

Hi,

I am a 15 year old sophomore in high school and I have been interested in forensic's well before my freshman year. The whole science of it amazes me and I'm very excited about researching what classes i need to take. I have searched colleges such as Penn State and Philadelphia University. I am intrigued with both colleges, but I'm having trouble on which college to choose. I know I have two years to decide, but I'm very interested in hearing what other people have to say.

Thank You..

I plan on being a forensic scientist but how many years do u have to go for it?? is it really like CSI??

As far as what classes to take in high school, most of the bachelor's degrees needed to become a forensic scientist involve natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy and physiology) and math. Basically take as many science and math classes that you can because each one prepares you for the classes that you will take in college that bring you one step closer to your bachelor's degree.
SAT's? Well, mainly their importance lies in that they help you get into college and can also allow you to test out of basic english and math college courses. They can also make you more competitive for scholarships.
As of right now, I'm in college but I haven't finished my bachelor's degree yet and so I can't tell you whether or not the job would be really difficult or not. But I would imagine that as long as you know the material the job is going to just be applying the things you learned in school.
As far as I know, most forensic science employers require at least a bachelor's degree (4 years) and some will even request a masters (another 2 years) or a doctoral degree(total of 8?). Also, to see what classes are required for a bachelor's degree in say biology or chemistry you can go to any university's website and see which classes are required for that major and also read what is involved in each course in the course descriptions. Hope that helps.

Hello, my name is Stephanie. I am almost 15 and i want to major in forensics. I was hoping to get some more informatoin on what kind of college classes you have to take, what high school classes would help you, and where i could contact someone to answer all my questions. If anyone can give me informatoin please comment or e-mail me softballbabe66@hotmail.com. Thank you!

It's great that so many people want to become forensic scientists, but it's not like television. I am currently taking classes just to get into the program and the program is very chemistry based. I actually had a friend switch to forensic psychology because of all the math and chemistry. Calculus is also required.

Some colleges offer forensic science degrees and I would suggest that you minor in a science, mainly chemistry. So that's at least 4 years, then another 4 years at a medical school, and another 5 year residency and internship is required.

The hours depend on who you work for, as does the pay. Forensic scientists work for the government, private labs and even insurance companies. There is a book that lists every major available and the schools that have that program, I would look into that and then research the schools so you can find what best suits you. It is a long road and I wish everyone the best of luck.

Hello, my name is Sara and i am in Portland Oregon, I need to know what classes i should take to transfer to a University and complete a four year college to study Forensics Analysis and crime lab technician. But i am currently at a community college and want to know the required classes i need now. I have taken writing 115 and reading 115 and writing 121 but i know that there are pre requs i need to complete, i dont want to waste my time just taking classes that i dont need because i am doing this all out of my own pocket, and it gets pretty spendy. so if i can eliminate the classes i dont need to take from the classes i need to take it would help me greatly.

Hey,I am very interested with forensic scientist.I'm also good in Math and science..and I do love being on the computer looking up different things but mainly research on Forensic.The only thing I watch on TV is Bones, CSI, Law and Order, Criminal Minds and CSI Miami. Things like that only get my attention. I am going to the 11th grade so its time to really make a serious decision on my career. I really love forensic from what i see . And i am taking the classes i need for this career just need to get involved with the career more hands on things. I am looking for a good college to attend for i can study Forensic.

Hi, I'm Maham Ahmed, and i'm interested in this career. May I please have one person within this occupation to contact my email account? I want to ask questions. Please contact back.
Mahmed198@gmail.com

I'm a 7th grader in middle school, and i fell in love with forensic science last year, and yes i know that its not like CSI or bones or anything but i really would like to be one, i am making straight A's and i am getting honors, left and right, and taking advanced science, math, english, and social studies so i think for now i'm on the right track to being a forensic scientist:)

I am so interested in being a forensic scientist!! I love watching crime shows, such as Bones, CSI, Law and Order, Criminal Minds and CSI Miami. I am a sophomore in high school so Im a little shook up on the courses found out I must major in because I despise math, but learning and mastering it is what I must do. I am taking biology and passing with flying colors, and math to but what type of math must I know for the job? I also have a hard time with the periodic table but my memory has been my help and I memorize stuff in like 30 minutes. I love Earth Science and Biology and look forward to taking Chemistry. COmputers isn't my best but I can do it and there us a way. But what's your level of knowledge for the job? I hope its like the way it is on the shows but if its not its okay! I have passion for the job and pray i make it.

Hey! I'm a sophomore in high school right now, and I'm interested forensic scientist career.

I've been taking a few honors classes, including math and literature, and going to take more in the next two high school years. I took average level of bio freshmen year, currently taking average level chemistry, and next year I'm taking average level physics. Next year I'm taking Functions and Trig (which is actually considered pre calc in other schools in my district) and I'm taking my school's pre calc level senior year. I'll probably take another science class senior year too, most likely something AP.

I love all the CSI shows but also understand that real life is completely different xD I'm thinking about becoming a DNA annalist or something around that. My options are open, so some kind of forensic job is okay with me.

You all been saying 30k-60k to normal lab jobs, right? I'm just wondering how much when it comes to raising a family, or paying the bills. Some people told me that isn't a lot, when others told me is pretty good. What's your opinion?

Also, are forensic jobs really that hard to get? :/ I've looked on other websites and it was saying how the employment rate is up right now. It just makes me wonder if I should go for a different degree/occupation. I don't want my college degree go to waste since college cost a lot.

Just so you know all crimes aren't solved in a neat little hour time span like on tv. Most crimes take years to be solved and some cases are tucked away in file cabinets left unsolved forever.

O Chem was a cake walk...It's P chem you need to look out for!



The only thing that you can really do in high school that will help you out is to make sure you get prerequisites done for the classes you will need to take in college. If haven't taken Chemistry or Biology in high school then you will need to take a beginner class in college before you can take the classes you actually need and that can delay your graduation.



I recommend not getting a forensic science degree. Get a regular science degree. It takes 6 months to a year to actually get hired (and that's if you're at the top of the list) and you will need to be able to get a normal lab job while you're at it. If a regular chemistry lab sees you have a forensic science degree instead of a chemistry degree they might be afraid that you will ditch them for a forensic job and so they won't want to waste money training you if you're just going to leave.



In the article it talks about testing environmental water to see if a company is polluting. For that you will want to work at a normal environmental lab. You would not do that at a "forensic" lab.



The article talks about some people work as a police officer first and then transfer to a forensic job while they are taking college classes. I don't know where they come up with that but it is BS. Police officer and scientist are two very different jobs and you can't just hop from one to another without getting proper education first. If you want to be a forensic scientist then why would you be wasting your time being a cop?



A lot of what it says in the article seems just little off-kilter (no offense to whoever wrote it) so make sure to look at the job requirements for the particular place(s) you might want to work.



And 200K? I guess a medical examiner might be able to make that much eventually but that's performing autopsies they aren't attached to the police department.

Usually $30K is around entry level and normally goes to $60K for when you can perform analyses on your own. Lab directors can make $100K but if you want this job for the money you should go somewhere else. Taxpayers hate you so the labs are always always always underfunded and they think you already have the magical, beyond top-of-the-line gadgets that they see on TV and they don't think you need any more.

no. It is nothing like CSI.

Salaries go from about 30K to over

200K if you're a medical doctor in forensics. You can get up to about 100K if you work for more than 20 years, and even more if you specialize in something.

Im very interested in forensic science. I want to be one when i grow up. I am in grade 9 right now and i am starting to question about this career with teachers and researching about it on the internet. My teacher says that first you have to study bio chem and then you have to go directly into forensics(She says studying bio chem will give you a better understanding of forensics when you go directly into it)

Hi my name is Maria im a freshmen in high school. I really like the show csi and have always been curious about this sort of thing. I was just woundering how much it would cost to go to school and what are some of the best forensic schools?

You'll need to take mathematics and science courses. Also, you should look into speech classes and english classes so that you;ll be able to communicate effectively. The salary range varies. Normally you'll begain with about 30,000 and once you're a more experienced forensic you'll be able to earn up to 100,000. Also, the Air Force and Army offers careers in the forensics fields. ATM is a pretty good college to go to if you're seeking a career in forensics. I'm 16 years old! :D

I am in highschool, freshman to be exact. But, I am and always have been interested in being in the forensic feild. So, what do I need to accomplish, like what courses shall I need to take?
