I think its like that show CSI or something..I dont have the power to do that, all that stuff you have to see...But i think its good bc some people depend on these people to help in bad times. They bring justice to those who have done wrong crimes..

i think it's a pretty good career if you're upto it. It's a job in a hard field. You'll have to deal with a lot of world's cruelties and it's some really harsh stuff out there. That's one aspect of the job and then there's the financial view. I think median annual salary is about $57000. and then there is job satisfaction. Are you the kind of person who really wants to help the world in this kind of way and is this really what you want to do for the rest of your life? Ask yourself these questions and see what you think. Maybe go and talk to your guidance counselor about it and research the career online maybe too. I don't really know much about this but i hope that helped. 😊

Well, it really does depend on what you want to do and what you're good at....

You should take different classes to explore your likes and dislikes.. once you think you feel pretty confortable with the stuff then you should go ahead with it.

Careers counselors are good too at guiding you the right path and sometimes guidance counselors can help you put yourself in a good shape for a career too but ultimately it comes down to your choices.

I found an interesting site on "Careers in Forensic Psychology" do take a look http://www.wcupa.edu/_academics/sch_cas.psy/career_paths/forensic/career08.htm

I agree with Mahi. If you are sure that you are interested in Psychology, take a few classes trying out different kinds. There is abnormal psych, development psych, personality, and of course you can take classes on forensic. Then you can compare and decide which one you feel most interested in.
