I found a website with some resources on becoming a forensic scientist (see below). Some advice though – as for going to Harvard etc. – being a Boston gal myself who currently works for a college and has had a few years in the working world, some words of advice – unless you get a really, REALLY good scholarship, stay in community college. No one actually cares where your degree is from, just as long as you have one (and I’ve worked for top law firms in Boston that confirms it). Wish I knew that secret – although I got some great scholarships, I still have college loan debt (my parents paid half, I picked up the other half in loans) – and in a career like forensics, you don’t make much money at first, so you won’t make enough to off-set what you paid for that pricey degree. I don’t think a lot of students take into account the long-term financial responsibility of student loans and how greatly the debt impacts your future. Unless you’re independently wealthy – if you are – in that case, ignore what I said :).
