What important characteristics should I have in order to be a Crime Scene Investigator?
I am enrolled in Rio Linda High School as a Junior taking countless APs. I have excelled in science classes previously and currently but I am not proficient in math. I have a stellar transcript and ranked 44 in the whole school. I have been intrigued by the Criminology and Criminal Justice field ever since I was young but I am a calm person who slightly work under pressure, but I am very observant to small details and maintain a high position.

How can i figure out what i want to do in the forensic field?
I'm a 14 year old high school freshman and recently was assigned a project asking where i see myself in 10 years and it got me thinking. I've had a feeling of wanting to do something involving forensics, like forensic psychology, biology, pathology, etc. so i was thinking maybe CSI? I'm really interested in the investigation of crime scenes and human remains but I've also considered mortuary science. How do i know what i want to do, and what are some things i should start planning/setting in motion now if i want to get a degree? Sorry if my question is vague

What fields are there in criminal justice, and what degrees get you there?
I'm a high school student who's stumped on what field of criminal justice I want to work to become a part of. What I'm looking for is a job with a fairly consistent schedule, decent pay, and involves crime. Bringing justice is what motivates me to work in this area, so every field sounds interesting to me. Criminal law, forensic science, CSI, policing, etc. I would love to hear any advice or stories about any field. I'm still undecided, so I just want to see the options. Even if they're hard.

CSIs, how often are you called into work after your shift ?
I'm a highschool student who wants to work in criminal justice in the future, and CSI sounds very interesting to me. But from what I've heard, you have to get up even when you're off-shift, work overtime, and have a very inconsistent schedule with minimal sleep. It's important to me that I'll have time to sleep and exercise after work, and that routine being disturbed sometimes is manageable. But I haven't heard about how often it would get disturbed, so I'm starting to think CSI might not be right for me.

how did you know you wanted to work in law enforcement?
currently I've been binge watching this series called CSI on Hulu. The show is from the 2000s and it has made me want to be a CSI or work as a homicide detective and learn more about the law enforcement field and forensics, my only problem is is that I don't know if this is merely a hyper fixation or if I would actually want to do this job. Just wondering how others got drawn to this job and their experiences so I can figure out if I really want to do this or not so that way I can change my highschool schedule to meet what I want to do and what will prepare me for whatever job I want to work.
