How much does a forensic scientist get paid?
Do you really want to base your decision on a career to follow for 45 years, on what people were paid last year. If you used that logic five years ago your chosen career would be in banking and this year you would be looking for a new job. Find what you are good at and follow that option — if you are good at it you can make a real impact. If you are just doing something because last year’s pay was good, you will never get job satisfaction and will never be able to differentiate yourself form the thousands of other people who have made the same decision.
