You remind me of criminal minds. I used to watch that show all the time. Among other similar shows.

It’s about the Behavioural Analysis Unit of the FBI. So uh…yeah i guess they’re detectives? XD so they solve a lot serial crimes by analyzing the behaviours of the suspects/victims.

No wonder your father was pissed off, maybe he was scared you might be admiring those people's crimes, or something

Forensics sound very exciting from the outside.
I once met this girl who worked in forensics, and she said that it was quite less glamurous than on TV. They get a request to check this and that, they do it and they fill a report, and most of the times they don't have a general overview of whatever the case is.
She thought the upside was that her patients never complained about anything - cut, slice, poke, whatever you do they're fine xD


Profiling though, I suppose you really need to know everything and anything about the case to be able to do your job.

My dad also used to watch those shows. Until we got a….er…smarter tv lol. The old and clunky tv we had before was probably around 30 years old. Now, you can watch YouTube on the tv and he just watches mainland China dramas on it every day lol.

Yeah it all sounds so interesting! But I dunno if I’d ever consider it as a job, what with all the sciences you’d have to learn, probably have to be physically fit to do it as well, since you’d probably have to at least do a stint as a police officer and attend police academy. Unless you’re like an uber psych genius lol.

Well, I do think it's interesting, just not exciting.
I mean, I like learning for the sake of learning, so this kind of let's-solve-the-puzzle kind of jobs seem really great.


I don't know how it goes elsewhere, but here there are college degrees in criminology.
No police academy or anything, just college degree.
I'm checking it in my university, and most of the subjects sounds like applied psychology.

Hmm well I suppose times are changing. I guess if you want to work on the field, you’d have to have some practical training since it could be dangerous. If you’re just sitting in a room or behind a desk, I guess you wouldn’t have to lol.
