How Much Money Will I Make?
Income in the forensic sciences varies greatly depending
upon your degree, your actual job, where you work, and how
many hours you work. You may never "get rich" but you will
have a good income. You will be satisfied with your job,
knowing you are contributing to justice — keeping the good
guys on the street and helping put the bad guys in jail.
Forensic scientists work different hours, depending upon
what they do. Some work in forensic laboratories and work 40
hours a week, Monday through Friday. Others work out in the
field on digs and may work different hours. Still others are
"on call" and work after their regular shift and receive
overtime or compensatory (comp) time.
Essentially every branch or forensic science offers
opportunity for personal growth, career advancement, and
increasing financial compensation.
