I'd love to be a forensic anthropologist. Didn't do well enough in school though Sad if I was smart enough it'd be the best job ever!

Anatomical Pathology Technologist.

I am currently looking into a change. Agree that forensic anthropology also seems extremely interesting too!!

Ooh Sneaky my 11 year old DD wants to me a forensic archeologist/anthropologist.

I always wanted to be a scenes of crime officer and work in forensics so maybe that's where she gets it from. I didn't work hard enough in school to do it and still regret it.

Now though, at the age of 44 I am very interested in retraining in woodland ecology and conservation/forestry.

The first one is never going to happen but I'm hoping to retrain in one of the other 2 options once my son is older
