[tnacouture101]

if you were to specialize in biology, what would you be doing in the lab?

@TheAutumngirle Think before you apply and finish this degree once you see your first murdered child you get really sick. Its not like its on tv trust me.

@MegansxMelodies Yes, you need to finish your Forenic Degree in biology and toxicology or something similar. I have double degree with medical science so to me it came natural. If you apply with police you should be able to enter and with experience and futher training you should be able to go into field. Although if you do not have stomach of dead bodies, burnt bodies, decomposed bodies, stay in lab.

@RaineyWM You need to have very good maths skills to enter this field. You wont be doing much maths at university but you will need maths skills when dealing with say chemistry and physics part of your degree. Again if you have maths issues there is always a bridging unit that universities offer which you can take.

Dexter is not a forensic scientist he is a blood splatter analyst.
