Forensics has been my personal obsession for almost a year now, NCIS is what got me interested, I may be answering too late, but I say go for your dreams! I want to be a forensics scientist and I want a degree in computers, I plan on doing both, if you want you could do both, go into DNA forensics,(thats my plan) its Biology and forensics all in one, and its one of the most involved subjects in forensics.

What is the difference between a forensic biologist and a forensic scientist?
The title of "forensic scientist" is a more general label, while forensic biologists focus specifically on living forensics. I would guess that forensic biology falls under the umbrella of forensic science.
Is it possible for a Molecular Biology student to become a forensic scientist?
Yes, molecular biology is a great major to have when you go in for forensics training. It really depends on the type of forensic scientist you want to become (eg. a biological forensic examiner would do well with a bio-based background).
What should you study in high school or college if you want to become a forensics scientist?
Biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, or any releated natural science for general forensic science.
How a forensic science uses biology?
A forensic scientist uses biology to identify living things, like if a mark on the victim was made by an animal.
What three tasks or responsibilities does a forensic scientist have?
A forensic scientist has more than three tasks or responsibilities. The main areas are drugs and toxicology, Biology, and chemistry.
What subjects do you have to study to become a forensic scientist?
Chemistry,biology,anthropology,anatomy and physiology
What type of science does a forensic scientist use?
Biology, chemistry and drugs/ toxicology, I think!
What education is needed to become a forensic scientist?
You will need, at least, a Bachelors degree (or coursework equivalent) in a physical science such as chemistry, biology or physics. Coursework would be heavy on chemistry and should have microscopy and statistics included. I hope that answers your question :)
What subjects should you take at GCSE to become a forensic scientist?
Maths,astronomy,physics,chemistry,biology
If you wanted to be a CSI would you need to major in Criminal Justice or Forensic Science What is the difference between the two?
If you want to be a CSI - like on the TV show - you need a bachelors degree in a lab science, such as biology, chemistry, forensic science or similar. You usually also need a masters degree in a lab science.Most people going into the field get their bachelors in biology or chem, and then get their masters in forensic science.Try to do an internship in forensic science while you study, to make it more likely you'll get a job in the field when you graduate.Criminal justice degrees are more for if you actually want to be a police officer, a corrections officer, or a security officer. To be a CSI, you need to be a scientist.
What subjects are needed to become a forensic scientist when starting college?
Biology and Chemistry and possibly Physics. If your high school offers a Forensic Science class, take it.
What type of skills should a forensic scientist have or have learned?
Physics Chemistry Biology Maths ICT computing and Geography
