Duties and responsibilities: The forensic sciences form
a vital part of the entire justice and regulatory system. The forensic
scientist's goal is the evenhanded use of all available information to
determine the facts and, subsequently, the truth.
Salary: Income in the forensic
sciences varies greatly depending on the type of job, the employer, and the
work requirements. Forensic science
careers provide comfortable, but not necessarily “high dollar,” salaries. Forensic scientists work different hours,
depending upon what they do. Most scientists
in forensic laboratories work 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday. Others work in the field and their work hours
may vary. Still others are “on call” and
the work hours vary widely. Every branch
of forensic science offers opportunity for personal growth, career advancement,
and increased financial compensation.
Education: Income in the forensic sciences varies greatly depending upon your
degree, your actual job, where you work, and how many hours you work.
Essentially every branch or forensic science offers opportunity for personal
growth, career advancement, and increasing financial compensation.

Reflection: I would very much like to
be this and have a career doing this. I get paid a lot and it would be
something I’d like to do. Plus we only work 40 hours a week that’s even better
for me to hold family time.
