I have a criminal record. Can I still go into forensics?
I am now 21 yrs old. I do not have a high school diploma, but earned my GED as soon as I turned 18. (I had tried to go back to school, and couldn't) I caught a misdemeanor theft charge in February '08. I have always wanted to go into the field of Forensics. I don't only "like the CSI shows", I am very passionate about forensic science in general. I know what I have to major/minor in, as well as some schools that offer degrees in Forensics. What I want to know is if I can go into a field of forensics with a criminal background. By the tme I earn my degree it will have been almost 7 yrs since my conviction. Does anyone know the answer to my question? Thanks so much...
