@Emanouche thanx!

@303xsophiaaXx also you might be surprised that it is not excactely what you think it might be, if you go into criminalistics, (crime scene investigation) it might become an unpleasent surprise when you discover you have to stay sometime more than 12 hours investigating at a scene... anyway you can test out at school wheter you like something or not, that's what I'm trying to say.

@303xsophiaaXx 2-3 for an associate in general forensics, then you have to specialize in a specific field for at least a bachelor (2-3 more years, most places won't hire you without a bachelor). Or if you know already which field of forensics you want to get into, you can just start your bachelor in that field. I took general forensic science in college to broaden my view because I wasen't sure what to take. I'm graduating next quarter, then I have to pick a specific field of forensics.
