I have a degree in foresic biochemistry! There are many options. The glamorization of forensics in all the TV shows that you see does not accurately depict what the field of forensics is. You can be a criminal investigator tech and that just means that you will be collecting evidence, photographing evidence etc. The field of forensics has specific degrees, like chemistry, biotechnology, physics etc., you will be the one that will be examining and procurrung the intergrety of the evidence collected, usually for the DA's office. So there are many jobs that you can get. You can work with law enforcement or you can work for the DA directly. The military hires civilians in the forensic labs that they have. You can teach if you have a masters or PHD. You can do private consulting work for pharm companies and also do research work. Hospitals employ forensic pathologists and also the FBI. Then there is also forensic psychology. There are many options that you have.

It would give you access to sites/field work in Archaeology. Edit. There is also mortuary science to consider.

I suggest you get an ordinary science degree instead. You would have more options and they are not considered "lower" than a forensic science degree when applying at a crime lab. A lot of colleges that offer a forensic science degree actually just give you a glorified criminal justice degree. If that is the case, then no crime lab will hire you, so if you do pursue a "forensic science" degree, make sure the degree program you get is very heavy in science.

Unless it's a PhD, flippin' burgers? ;-)
