So You Want To Be A Forensic Scientist?

Hey guys,

Today i'll be getting into how to become a forensic scientist and what does it mean!

[Arifaeth]

I took an intro to forensics sciences I'm high school, it was a college level course, and I loved it, I mainly loved the finger print, hand writings, and matter analysis parts of it. I was worried I would end up doing the other parts as well. This video has cleared up a bunch for me

I’m still a junior in high school but I’m SO excited to do all of this

i’m in secondary school right now and i’ve always been so interested in crime since i was in primary, so i’m so glad you made this since i’ve always been interested in forensics but was never sure about what i wanted to do exactly! thank you!!

This helped me tremendously to figure out exactly what it is I want to do, what it involves and the differences between all the different areas and the misconceptions that I admittedly believed. Awesome channel

At first I wanted to be a biochemist, but looked into some jobs that are related to biochem and saw forensic science was related. I love the thought of law and science and I’m wanting to learn more about it as a potential major!

The fact that she talked about ncis made me happy like that show is the reason I am so excited to start classes and the reason as a child I wanted to do what I am learning

This is amazing I'm pursuing a forensic science degree in the fall and I was worried about what exactly I would be doing but I've wanted to be a forensic scientist since maybe 7th grade and baby was a big reason cause working in a lab is a huge dream of mine. The video really solidified that thank you so much

[luiscarlos-mnrk]

Thank you for this
This helped me understand and know more about this career
I’m currently studying forensic science in the area of chemistry

[Vanessa-crso]

Thank you so much! I've been really leaning towards forensics for a long while and you were definetly able to clear some things up! Amazing video :)

I’m in college right now, second semester into my Forensic Science-Investigator degree, I’m passionate about this and can’t wait to make my dreams come true !

Hi! I am currently in high school thinking of going into forensic science. This may change who knows but I was wondering which university and which type of degree and major is best to get into a forensic science job, and I think I would prefer working in the lab (I live in Sydney). I was also wondering what the pay is for a forensic scientist whether in the lab or CSI. Also great video really helpful thank you

[luismaldonado]

I am looking to become a forensic scientist after two attempts at college and in between jobs. I looked back at some of the things I was interested in school. I remember taking a STEM class in middle school that covered forensics and I loved it and in college my favorite class was my CJ class. I’m 23 now and I’m hoping to take another shot and hopefully be successful this time around.

This is very helpful. I'm teaching forensic science this year. My background is in biology so I'm comfortable with the science but I'm trying to get familiar with the broader aspect.

Hey, so I'm still in high school but forensics is something I REALLY want to do in my future. My aunty is telling me afp is the way to go, and I agree, but I'm not sure I'll be smart enough. Do you think it's hard to get into? Or is it sort of like the others? I have loved science (specifically forensics) since I was about 10 and when I knew I wanted to do this I did lots of research. I'd like to think I'm good with science, but currently I am only get B's. Do I have to be very smart to get in? Will B's be okay? I'm stressing out a little haha! Please let me know how difficult you think afp is please. Awesome video btw! Gave me some useful info :)

It is very difficult to get positions in forensic science. Many go out and get degrees with high hopes of entering the field but may end up more on the criminal justice side of things. For example becoming a police officer, background investigator etc. Dont give up guys but do other jobs that will at least get you some experience while seeking that dream forensics job.

Im still in middle school and im really interested in psychology and the human mind and i kinda want to do forensic psychology(though i do have to work on my communication skills because they do suck)but im definitely going to look at the other branchs of forensics so yeah 😊 but thank you for this video definitely helps i also do have a question do you know any course on YouTube that introduce forensics and go in depth of the definitely parts of it i am reading books too but watching videos would also help too but thank you

[miasearcy]

Im currently in college getting my bachelors degree in biochemistry and plan to get my masters in forensic science so this was a very helpful video, thank you

[wijdanetoumi]

Loved the video ! I've always been interested with forensic science but i'm french and i would like to study in Australia because this field is not as develop as i thought. I don't know if it's possible for me to do so.

I have a question, I’m gonna go to college soon and I really like forensic chem, forensic biology and fingerprint analysis. This one college near me as a program for forensic chem. But if I wanna go into forensic biology or fingerprint analysis, what program should I take?

[deannesomething]

Does forensic science include alot of chemistry or is it just a specific field.
