No need to be snippy there Skylor.  An individual interested in pursuing a career in the Forensic Science arena could just as easily be majoring in Chemistry, Physics, Entomology, Botany, Computer Sciences or any number of other Forensic related Majors.  Forensics is a relatively broad field with many specialty areas.  If you come here asking for assistance then it would behoove you to be a little less caustic in your comments.  The members here are more than willing to help and offer advice but we do need to be able to ask questions of you without you getting "Pissy" in responding.

Now, once again, exactly what is it that you want assistance with?

POOF!  That bridge just went up in flames...

Mr. Geralds,

Hey a friendly point of view. Your first post was very vague. Police and forensic people alike are very detail orientated.

Your second post, although you may not mean to have come off rude, I even found a tad bit rough.

Your third post seemed to followed the second with a hint of condesention.

Look, this website could be a great tool, used to make friends and some great mentors.

It's like going to a new school your senior year.

There are tons of great and experienced people who have been on this site quite awhile.

You are the rookie of rookies.

A better way to have post would of been to say;

Homies, Ladies and Gentlemen Alike,

I'm currently enrolled and studying forensic science and looking forward to obtaining my degree. I was hoping some of the patrons here might have some experience and would be willing to help me with any quesitons I have from time to time.

Thank you

Just saying, we didn't all have tact but remember, you are talking to people who are used to asking Who, What, Where, Why, When and How...

Good Luck

Check you In-Box Skyler, you've got mail!

I think someone may have some anger management isues.......

OK folks, our OP came out of the gate swinging an Attitude like a club, but he has apologized for his initial rudeness and, based upon his prior military service (as well as being a former MP) deserves a chance to redeem himself.  Please refrain from any further criticisms of his initial attitude and let's give him an opportunity to get on track with the PL program. The ball, as they say, is now in his court!

Thank You for your anticipated cooperation.

On both high school and college level - you choose the topic.  Make a stab at the research so you have some questions to bring to the table when you ask for experts' opinions.  That way, your efforts show sincerity and application.  

You can also query experts for worthwhile resources to pursue material for your topic.  This site has a search option for key words in order to locate an expert or another student with similar research goals.

Then you can post a topic with specific research-oriented questions.

You mean I'm finally not a rookie anymore????

Hey. Thanks guys for the support. I do appreciate it. And don't worry Redlight. As soon as someone stops being a rookie, someone else takes their place. And thank you BigNTS and you MarlyB. If there is ever anything I can do for you guys please let me know. As I will do my best to meet your accomodations. You all have a good day. Thank you. Be safe.

I'm in the same boat you are in kinda sorta!  I recently graduated and I have absolutely no clue where to go from here!!  I moved away from my home town and everything that I ever known and live in a new city where I don't know many people and I don't have the first clue on what to do.  When I started my college career 8 years ago I had my life planned out, I made friends with the local police agencies with a 3 county radius and now I'm in a town where I don't know a single officer.  I've taken steps and met witht he coroner and I learned alot of first hand knowledge from him, but other than that well here I am.  I currently live in Indiana and I have 2 degrees.  My first is an Associates in Criminal Justice with my minor being in Juvenile Law, and my second is a Bachelors in Criminal Justice with my major being in Forensic Science.  My previous work experience is I was in the National Guard, and I worked in a juvenile detention center for quite a few years.  The rest of my job hiswtory has absolutely nothing to do with my career choice, it involves waitressing and management.  If anybody has any ideas of what I can or should do next, I would greatly appreciate it.  I do know that the local police stations are not hiring at this time.

Thank you,

Angela
