    Experience is VERY important when you are going for your degree. If you're watching this while you're in college, message some research directors on your campus and ask if they have any positions open. It doesn't matter if you're undergrad, lab experience is lab experience. Plus, you will make a lot of friends in that field!

      Maybe do more research on that lol. I used to be really into forensic science too and i actually was about to go to school for it, but looking into that field more i found out that the job is so over saturated that there will be a lot more graduates than there are jobs so the job will be VERY competitive. Someone fresh out of college will find it very difficult to find a jod since there will be others with years of experience and tbh you'll most likely to go into student debt for the degree and in the end the job doesn't pay the best. Of course this is my advice, if you guys really want to then go for but i would do a lot more research and plan out your future for it.

    I just wanna examine crime scenes...I'm almost 14 and I find this subject very interesting, I like Biology (not a big fan of Chemistry and Physics heheh 😅 ) I also have a curious nature, I don't get disgusted by many things, that including blood, spilled organs, dead bodies etc. Finding out what happened at a crime scene, how it happened and finding the culprit/culprits seems like something i'd enjoy doing. The two paths I want to choose between is this and working in the IT industry...one requires lots of math at which I'm not that great and the other lots of Biology/science that I want to learn more of...and guts which I already have, I even learned english and now I'm learning german, I hope I get to be someone worth the time and work something I have a passion for
