Hi, I just finished my last year of high school and I’m trying to decide between becoming a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) or a Forensic Pathologist.
I’m really interested in biology and chemistry, and I’ve actually had the chance to observe autopsies with a friend who works with the police, which I found very interesting. But I'm also interested in fieldwork.
So I’d really appreciate hearing from people who work as CSIs or forensic pathologists to help me decide.
What does your typical day look like?
What’s the hardest part of your job (especially emotionally)?
What did you study?
Is there anything you wished you had known before starting?
I’m trying to understand what the work is really like so I can decide between CSI or FP.
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.
