what interest you the most in forensic science?

im interested in ballistics and fingerprintss. fascinated by locards exchange principal i found that i would be suited to a career in forensics...i hope

 

Well performing tests are definately what the "labrats" do. Even if that is doing scene reconstruction type testing.

It is pretty rare for any publically funded crime lab to allow anyone to do any research. Usually a lot of that is done by University students/professors who don't actually engage in forensic science.

But yes. No matter what specialty area you gravitate towards, there will be some days where you are tired of "sitting in front of a microscope". But no more so (and probably less) than any other highly specialised profession.

 

I want to be a lab rat
