So this morning when it was 2am and I couldn't sleep. I couldn't help but thing about what I would like to do for a career. Over the past couple of months I have been trying to decide, I considered becoming an author, lawyer, medical examiner and forensic scientist. So when I was being sleep-deprived I decided to go over my interests, which include Biology especially DNA and genetics, Chemistry, IT and Maths which I had decided I was going to take for A level as I know that is where my path lies.
However while I was awake and me being me I think best late at night in this case, really early morning. Thinking about the things I enjoy and love I realised Forensic science was one of the best options for me as it Chemistry, the aspects of Biology I enjoy as well as Maths and IT which is everything I seem to love.
I have been told by one of my teachers that forensics is hard to get into and isn't a very good career choice but I have come to realise that even though she says this I am a hard-working, determined person and if I truly want something I will go out and work for it therefore I have decided this seems like the logical route to go down.
Another thing that triggered my realisation was watching the show Orphan Black which is about clones, DNA and genetics therefore watching this show made me realise my interests for genetics.
I love science and have realised this is the career for me and have been deciding the options I have as I dislike Physics and enjoy Biology and Chemistry. Many things come to mind when I think about the things I love but have realised writing and History are just hobbies of mine and I just like knowing about the past therefore it doesn't seem wise to go down those paths as I would probably get bored and they are my hobbies therefore I can still have time to do them whether it is my profession or not.
Although I know science was my career I wasn't sure of what sector as there are many different types of Biology and Chemistry alone let alone compared therefore it was a difficult decision deciding what I want to do.
To become a forensic scientist I don't need a degree in forensic science it can be Biology or Chemistry related therefore leaving more jobs open for me in the future in case I decided I don't want to do that.
If you are thinking I am to young to decide (I'm 15) then I don't have much of a choice because I start Year 11 in September therefore I am going to take my GCSEs next June so I will need to decide what I want to do for A level before I have even completed my exams so I need so idea of where I want to head if not than a career already decided.
I have decided my teacher that told me not to purse this. Well screw her, if I want it enough I will be willing to do what I have to. I have done research and have a possible plan and idea of what I can do, to ensure I have the best chance at getting a job as you need work experience therefore I will try to achieve this as soon as possible.
I have been influenced to do this as without the show NCIS I wouldn't know what forensic science is and might never have found it. So thanks to NCIS and the forensic scientist Abby Sciuto aka Pauley Perrette.
And this gang of weirdos is one of my favourite casts and I have some much respect and admiration for what they do and the entire show. They are my idols and inspiration.
Thanks for reading.
