career decision
19/f
I am currently in college and I am undecided major. I have given my future career a lot of thought and I know that I want to do something involving a laboratory. My entire family and extended family are associated with the medical field, so it is basically in my blood to be surrounded by medicine and research. My aunt and uncle are doctors, however I wish to be the medical researcher. I need help coming up with career choices which would fit the criteria of being in a laboratory and doing research. I was either thinking pharmacy or forensic science (I've always wanted to be a detective and I am interested in the law department).
Would anyone be willing to help me out with my career problem and their inputs and/or recommendations? Thank you!

You do need to consult with your student advisor when you return to school for the next semester. For right now the one thing you can do while your home is to investigate the forensic science by calling you local police or State Police. Ask one of the departments if you could either meet with or even job shadow with someone in their Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) area.
Explain that you are presently in college looking at majoring in forensic science for law enforcement. You would like to know more about what is required to work in that area of law enforcement. To see just what is entailed in CSI so you may tailor your major.
I am very confident that once you have explained why. One of the two departments will be very happy to accommodate your request.

I am pretty sure there are no laboratory researchers among the people that contribute to this site. This place is probably too "low-brow" for them. This is an excellent question to ask of your student advisor. when spring semester starts in a few weeks, set up a face-to-face appointment with your student advisor. he or she should be able to give you the proper guidance in regards to your chosen career path.
