UPDATE: thank you so much everybody!! i think for now i am going to try and not think about this too much as it is very far ahead. i appreciate every one of you guys who replied. thank you all! ❤️❤️
hiii i am in highschool (junior currently) and i’ve always wanted to do forensic pathology but recently i’ve been considering the costs and stress that med school brings and I’ve been looking for advice on whether I should just become a regular forensic scientist. any tips would be appreciated, and for perspective I am very much lower class. (cost is my main concern) thank you!❤️
gonna post a little more context
I do live in the US, which is already a nightmare lol but i have always wanted to do pathology because i’ve just always been interested in investigative work, and especially when it comes to the human body and how it works. I can see myself being satisfied with forensic science, but i know that i truly want to go do pathology as my dream.
I discussed this with a friend and I was thinking of doing forensic science for a couple years and possibly save up for med school? Again, not sure how it will all play out in the end due to the current administration and other underlying issues. But anything can help and thank you for just responding!
