[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid likes biology generally, consider looking into schools with Forensic Science programs. Kind of a combination of biology, chemistry, crime scene investigation, law/testimony, etc. Best for squeaky clean kids. [/quote]

I think that's fiction. Or at least there's zero need in the field after decades of scripted dramas making this out to be glamourous.[/quote]What part is fiction? But I do think you are half right. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of forensics jobs will grow substantially more than average, yet competition for jobs will also be higher than average for the reason you cite. I have reviewed the plans of study at schools such as VCU, GMU, and West Virginia University. To me, it is like getting 4 or 5 minors. Forensic Science has similar benefits to nursing and teaching: there a jobs located literally everywhere. I also wonder if a person with a FS degree could teach at least basic Biology and Chemistry in schools (another benefit if so). [/quote]
