__Introduction/Education__
I have given much thought as to what career I would like to pursue, and that career is a Forensic science technician. This career suits me because I am interested in forensic science, natural sciences such as biology or chemistry, and math. In order to work in this field you have to have some skills, like: communication skills, composure, critical thinking skills, detail oriented, math and science skills, physical stamina, and problem solving skills. You need to have at least a bachelor's degree in a natural science such as biology or chemistry, a masters in forensic science, and on the job training.

__Skills required and how it suits me__
My communication skills right now are not the very best, but with work I can improve them. I will be specifically using these skills to write reports, to testify in court and to work with other law enforcement specialists. something that I can do to improve my communications skills to either practice at a job or in a public setting. I'd say that I have good composure. I can be professional about a lot of things, and when I look at things that are from crime scenes or something similar I don't get squeamish. In this career someone needs composure to maintain objectivity and professionalism, even while looking at the results of violence and destruction.

I have okay critical thinking skills, but if I work on them they will improve. to improve them I could look forward at the outcomes of my decisions, I could put sometime into improving the function of my brain, or I could read books that help me improve my critical thinking skills. A forensic science technician need critical thinking skills to use their best judgment when they are matching physical evidence, like fingerprints and DNA to suspects. I would also say that I am sort of detail oriented. I often notice small behavior changes or changes throughout my home, school, or other people. I can improve this by paying more attention to detail. To work as a forensic science technician you have to be able to notice small changes in mundane objects to be good at collecting and analyzing data.

I would say I have average math and science skills, I really enjoy both of the subjects, so that might help me with this future career possibility. However I can still improve them. To improve them I can practice after school hours the things I learning in both subjects. As a forensic science technician you need to have a solid understanding of statistics and natural sciences to be able to analyze evidence at a crime scene. I would say that I need to work on my physical stamina. Forensic science technicians spend a lot of their time standing or kneeling at crime scenes. I can stand or kneel, but I would need to work on other things I can improve this by exercising more. They also need problem skills. I would say that I have average problem solving skills. They (Forensic science technicians) use scientific test to and methods to help law enforcement officials solve crimes. I feel like this would be something that I could do because I enjoy using science to solve things.

__**Aspects that interest me**__
There are many aspects of this career that Interest me. I enjoy science and being able to do it everyday would be really fun and enjoyable. Another thing that I like about this career is that I would get to work with all kinds of different people who have similar interests as I do. I also like that I would be probably be working in Police departments/ offices, crime labs, morgues, or medical examiner/ coroner offices. Something in this career that excites me is getting to work with the evidence and trying to analyze it. I also like that sometimes the forensic science technicians get to reconstruct the crime scenes.

__**What they do**__
Forensic science technicians do a variety of things. They work in labs and at the crime scenes.

**__At the crime scenes__**

 * 1) analyze crime scenes to determine what and how the evidence should be collected,
 * 2) Take photographs of the crime scene and evidence
 * 3) make sketches of the crime scene

 * 5) Collect evidence, including weapons, finger prints, and body fluids.
 * 6) Catalog and preserve evidence for transfer to crime lab

__In the lab__
They all have to prepare written reports that detail the findings and investigative methods.
 * 1) Perform chemical, biological, and microscopic analyses on evidence taken from crime scenes.
 * 2) Explore possible links between suspects and criminal activity, using the results of DNA of other scientific analyses.
 * 3) Examine digital media for pertinent information.
 * 4) Consult with experts in specialized fields such as, toxicology ( the study of poisons and their effect on the body, and Odontology (a branch of forensic medicine that concentrates on teeth)
 * 5) Reconstruct crime scenes

__How to prepare__
To prepare for this career you have to:
 * Have a high school diploma or equivalent.
 * Have a Bachelor's degree in science or in a science-related technology.
 * Complete moderate on-the-job training
