Forensic/criminal psychology...

Heyy all you lovely people....im new to this forum...and i know the topic title must have put you off already...but i wanted some advice on how criminal/forensic psychology would be as a career...i really love pyscholgy and im good at it too...so what do you all think...please post your views

I think its like that show CSI or something..I dont have the power to do that, all that stuff you have to see...But i think its good bc some people depend on these people to help in bad times. They bring justice to those who have done wrong crimes..

i think it's a pretty good career if you're upto it. It's a job in a hard field. You'll have to deal with a lot of world's cruelties and it's some really harsh stuff out there. That's one aspect of the job and then there's the financial view. I think median annual salary is about $57000. and then there is job satisfaction. Are you the kind of person who really wants to help the world in this kind of way and is this really what you want to do for the rest of your life? Ask yourself these questions and see what you think. Maybe go and talk to your guidance counselor about it and research the career online maybe too. I don't really know much about this but i hope that helped. 😊

Thanx to all of you...for replying...i think il talk to my careers counsellor

I agree with Mahi. If you are sure that you are interested in Psychology, take a few classes trying out different kinds. There is abnormal psych, development psych, personality, and of course you can take classes on forensic. Then you can compare and decide which one you feel most interested in.

Thank you Mahi for the website...il have a look at it and thnx Sravi di...you all have been a great help!!

You know the site was quite good...im going to go for it...what interested me the most was the fact that they wrote good points to the job aswell as bad..Thanx once again Mahi
