What year 10 work experience can you do if you want to be a forensic scientist?

We Answered:

Heya, i want to be a forensic scientist aswell.
I took work exerience at a local police headquarters, working in the offices ( that was for a week) then i went to for a week a local labaratory at our local hospital doing a bit of work experience there i couldnt do much there but i did do a bit of dogs bodys work e.g accompany staff to collect blood results and such. That has enabled me to go into further education in all the sciences at a levels, as they saw i was passionate. Also to continue further study at GCSE your looking at 5 a*-c with science at a CC or above.

Hope i helped and good luck
xx

Where can I work for work experience, that relates to Forensic Psychology?

We Answered:

the prison is no place for a young man.
you may gain some irrelevant experience in forensic psychology,
but believe me, you will pay a high price for it.
because you will witness things there.
and you too will be changed.
to the worse.

Where can I go to do Work Experience if I want to be a Forensic Scientist?

We Answered:

I'm a senior in college and I want to go into Forensics as well. My best plan is to get a Bachelor's in a Science (I'm getting a BA in Biology) and work as a Lab Technician. Lab Tech's typically only need an associates degree PLUS work experience OR just a Bachelor's in Science. Working as a Lab Tech should get you the experience you need.

Work Experience for budding Coroners/forensic scientist?

We Answered:

You are unlikely to find anywhere that will allow assistance at post mortem examinations as part of a work experience program.
The person in charge of the PME is a doctor qualified in that kind of work, that is, a pathologist.
To become a pathologist you must first become a doctor of medicine.
If you wish to train as a forensic scientist there are a number of options available and you may be able to find work experience in a forensic laboratory.
If so, be prepared to spend several hours peering through a stereo microscope at old bags or shoes, discarded clothing, and burnt suitcases looking for one microscopic piece of fibre or human hair that looks the same as another piece, or performing analytical tests on a sample of mud scraped from somebody's shoe to see if the trace elements and particle structures match those of a swampy pit from which a body has been recovered.
Forensics has an exotoc image outside of laboratories but working at a factory bench assembling oil pump rotors or filing the burrs and rough edges from hundreds of machine-produced wing nuts can be paradise compared to some of the days that laboratory technicians get.
I've done both, and I've dug trenches and built stone walls for a living, all out in the lovely fresh air, until a lab job came up where I'd moved to and I took the job and the pay drop that came with it.
For satisfaction, I much preferred the fresh air and seeing a beautiful new wall taking shape which will stand for hopefully over a hundred years if somebody doesn't knock it down again. We still have Roman ones doing sterling service.
Laboratories are sometimes fun.
Mostly they are just long hours of routine, even, and actually especially, in research and development laboratories.
I've done that too. Months spent with different samples of rust, for a specific task. Same tests, different results, all carefully recorded and used to help with more tests.
See from "I spent eight months once..."

Enjoy what you do anyway, even the mucky days.
We get one day once. It's gone then, forever.
