Hi everyone!
I've recently started considering enrolling in a BSc (Honours) Forensic Psychology course and I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of career potential I can expect.
I'd like to know what my options are before I make this decision, so any advice is much appreciated :)
Well then we are in luck since the US is the only country I can give you an adequate answer for. In the US, forensic psychologists most often work for psychiatric hospitals, state or federal prisons/jails, private practices, and universities. The most common work forensic psychologists do in the US is forensic psychological evaluations. However, many forensic psychologists have multiple roles/jobs (I personally enjoy that variety). In addition to the evaluations, they may conduct scientific research, teach at universities, write books, or work as a trial consultant to attorneys. Some work primarily in administrative roles. They might even make forensic psychology forums in their spare time... Sadly, the last one is unpaid.
