Is it better to be a forensic anthropogist or a forensic?

There is no such thing as a "forensic". Forensics is a science involved with a crime investigation. Whether they are Forensic Anthropologist: Scientists involved with determining what happened to a body that has been decomposed. Or maybe a Forensic Pathologist/ Medical Examiner: They examine the body of someone that have died recently. Remember, it's your decision on what you want your carrer to be when you're older. Don't just do what others tell you what you should be, and do NOT determine what you want to be when you're just by TV shows like "Bones" they glorify the cases and most of them will not be murders. Do some research about different types of forensics and get a little inside info about the real thing. Personally though, I want to be a Forensic Anthropologist when I'm older.(:

The bone structure and the teeth, always give hints to gender and age. The medical examiner usually looks at the exterior of a body first; a crime scene investigator would look for some form of identification, perhaps in pockets or purses.
