Dream Job

(Image source)
I think I can safely assume that most teenage girls these days read books like Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Twilight, Uglies, The Vampire Diaries and maybe some classics and romance novels.  When I was a preteen and teenager, I read books like those in addition to a variety of crime-related books and magazines.  Not just Johnny did this, got caught and went to jail.  No, the material I read went into vivid detail about the crime, the crime scene and what the body(ies) at the crime scene looked like.  Crazy as it may seem to some, it was the information about the bodies that interested me most.

For the longest time I wanted to be a forensic pathologist.  When I moved to South Carolina nearly 8 years ago, my plan was to finish my degree, go to medical school, get a fellowship in forensic pathology and go to work.  Well, while I was busy making plans, life was happening.

While I am still very much interested in forensic pathology, I'm not sure that I still want to go through everything it's going to take to get there.  I know I can do it.  I'm just not sure I want to.

  1. That would be an awesome job. I wanted to be a crime scene photographer at one time.

  2. One of my friends from high school has also always wanted to be a forensic pathologist, but life happened to her too. lol Maybe when everyone is out of the house and grown we can all take another stab at these jobs in our heads. :-)
