The Forensic Science Degree can take you anywhere from 2-4 years, depending on if you are going for a BS or a MS. You could not do both jobs because a) the time each job takes and b) there could be a conflict of interest depending on what kind of law you were doing. Crime scene investigations and forensics are linked. The forensics portion usually requires you to have some science background (Biology, Chemistry). CSI's don't necessarily need this. Hope this answers your question.

This varies from city to city.  In Houston, Texas, someone on a SWAT team picks up an additional $1,800 per year.  \n\nIn the City of Albuquerque a SWAT officer picks up an additional $50 a month.\n\nBottom line, as in many hazardous positions, the pay is not the major motivator.

if you want to be a forensic scientist (aka criminalist) that works in a lab analyzing evidence, then you need to have a 4 year degree in a natural or physical science.  that would be chemistry, biology, etc.  you must have a science degree and take certain courses like quantitative analysis to be hired by any crime laboratory.\n\nif you want to be a police detective, then you must first be a police officer and work your way up to the rank of detective.\n\nthere are jobs that give you access to crime scenes without requiring a science degree.  an example would be a latent fingerprint analyst, where you would go to the crime scene to dust for prints, lift them and then take them back to the lab to analyze under the stereoscope.  also being a crime scene photographer doesn't require a degree in science.\n\nhope this helps.  good luck!

problem with forensics is there is hardly any jobs in it, only a handful come out every year, and universities pump out lots of graduates in forensics every year, saturated market.\n\nI dunno where u live, but in the UK a doctor can make an uncapped salary, which means if you are on call 6 days a week and are good at what u do, and are prepared to perhaps work in a rural area there is nothing to stop u getting £250k per annum.  \n\nDon't do a job you don't want to do, like pharamacy, thats a waste.\n\nGrad school will probably involve some form of lab work, demonstrating ect, it is average pay in the UK, 32-36K.\n\nYour question is what can you do with a chemistry degree?\n\nWhat can't you do with a chemistry degree?  it's one of the best degrees to get, every employer will fall over backwards to get someone who has analytical skills, team work skills, time management skills, practical thinking.\n\nThere are more chemistry graduates work in the london stock exchange than people with economy degrees.\n\nIf you fancy getting away from chemistry a bit, try for another sort of job, which i don't think you have by the sounds of it, you'll be surprised and i'm pretty sure you'll easily be able to get above your target earnings.

Here is a little info. See the sources I've listed below. They will tell you alot more. \n\nThe Forensic Investigation Unit provides expertise at crime scenes through the use of photography, identification, evidence collection, processing and preservation. Technicians also perform latent fingerprint comparisons, forensic artistry and provide expert court testimony.\n\nThere are four types of technicians in the unit: Crime Scene Technician, Latent Fingerprint Specialist, Photo Lab Technician, and Office Support Specialist. In addition to skills required by their specialization, each technician must have a exceptional understanding of law enforcement techniques and needs to perform their assigned tasks in a way that assists future courtroom proceedings.\n\nCrime Scene Technician:\nHighly trained and capable Crime Scene Technicians provide mobile crime lab services at major crime scenes by scene photography, processing for latent fingerprints and collecting, identifying, classifying and preserving evidence. Crime Scene Technicians perform presumptive blood tests, gunpowder residue tests, and plaster cast impression molds. They process bodies of the deceased for trace evidence and fingerprints when necessary. They also fingerprint living and deceased subjects for identification. Technicians must be ready to testify in court to their findings and methods in criminal and civil cases.\n\nLatent Fingerprint Specialist\nFingerprint Specialists examine and evaluate the latent prints developed and lifted at crime scenes. They search for ridge detail and clarity to determine whether the print is sufficient for comparison. Comparisons are made between the print from the scene and prints of known individuals at the request of detectives and officers with the department for identification of the perpetrators of crimes.\n\nA vital role of the specialist is to enter and compare prints in the Automated Fingerprint Identification System or AFIS. This computer capability allows more comparisons in shorter time periods but it is ultimately the specialist who make the identification. Specialists must also be prepared to testify to their identifications in court.\n\nPhoto Lab Technician\nThe Tampa Police photo lab is responsible for processing and printing all Fire and Police Department crime scenes along with public relations photography. These technicians are very proficient in photography and photographic development techniques, both of which are crucial in the assignment they occupy. These technicians are responsible for a wide variety of complex and expensive equipment and maintain photographic negatives for future examination.\n\nOffice Support Specialists\nA sometimes neglected aspect of any organization or function is the record keeping and data management. Our Office Support Specialists play an essential in successfully achieving ID's goals. These technicians work to quantify data about arrests made, maintain city personnel files and criminal files, and staff the service desk for photo requests. These tasks are but a few of the functions of their highly demanding job roles

Usually a state job.  I'm sure they would be on call for some shifts it depends on the office.  You're not gonna get rich off of it, kinda like a police officer.  Prob. better off in pre-law or forensics.  In general not gonna get paid what you should unless you go to law school & open your own practice.
