This post is for anyone interested in forensic science.
Forensic science is separated into what I call The three B’s Blood, Bodied and Bones. I’ll lay out the pros and cons for each option and things that will make each one easier.
Blood: easier if you like physics and math.
Pros: Learning liquid physics, easier to keep a consistent work schedule, smells the least bad
Cons: if you don’t like math it will suck, getting comments about Dexter EVERY TIME you say your job, sometime really mentally taxing.
Bodies: easier if you have an interest in medicine and surgery and if you have a strong stomach around guts
Pros: Learning some things that can apply in first aid situations, learning how to identify COD (kinda cool), medical examiner pays really well
Cons: Sometimes smells the worst, hardest on people emotionally, requires really steady hands, usually less consistent work schedule.
Bones: easier if you are comfortable with various temperatures, like puzzles, have a strong gut for rotting stuff and are fine with bugs
Pros: least emotionally taxing, you aren’t working for law enforcement, you get to travel, you get to solve puzzles, you get to discover historical sites with skeletons.
Cons: sometimes the body isn’t fully decomposed and it stinks, a LOT of bugs, never home, grave robbing jokes.
They are all good options it’s just depends on what you like
