Very kind of you.

I am thinking about studying either a cultural or a forensic anthropology after graduating from high school in 2012, but I'd like becoming a forensic better. I really like history and I'm interested in cultures and stuff like that. I like biology but it's not as easy to me as the things above so I'm hardly above average.

Could I still become a forensic anthropologist or would I terribly fail?

Hi, AJ, Just to let you know, Forenic A. and Cultural A. are completely different fields. You'll take classes in both areas during the begining, but they start to spilt, and differ drastically. Think of Cultural A. as history of past peoples and modern, small groups/peoples/societies. Forensic A. is the study of morphology and mortality of hard tissue (bones) in humans. Forenic A. = A lot of BIOLOGY and other training, aka classes, in the hard sciences. Best of luck, my friend.

I really want to be this when I grow up but I have a sensitive stomach (I throw up a lot.) My question is: Do the remains smell bad and do you think a person like me can survive?

[anthropology370]

Yes.

Probably.

Rotten fish smells worse.

@ anthropology370 I really want to study forensic anthropology,but I am from Hong Kong and I don't really know what to do,I have no information about this and I need to search the internet but those on the internet aren't in detail.Should I study physical anthropology first and then study forensic anthropology or there is a double degree programme that includes both of them?What subjects will I need to study in Highschool?

@anthropology370 Hello! I am a highschool student in Hong Kong who really want to study forensic anthropology. I did search wikipedia for more information about this.But there is no forensic science,forensic anthropology and other anthropology degree in HK.How can I apply forensic anthropology degree of USA's universities?What preparation will I need?By the way I am really bad in Mathematics! The educational system is different in HK.I study Combine science(chemistry and biology),history,etc.

i'm looking into this and i live in riverside. I think that is a sign x) haha, would you say your career is fun/exciting?

[cburhance]

I'm starting my bachelor's in anthropology (I got my AA in psychology) and i can"t wait! After reading a book called Dead Men Do Tell Tales, and watching videos on forensic anthropology, I'm positive this is the field I want to pursue. The only thing I'm worried about is job availability when I graduate....but I guess if I'm doing something I have a passion for, things will fall into place.

[jehabib]

This kind of stuff is so cool. =]

So, can you tell me what a typical work day would be like?

Please.
