Detective vs Forensic Psychologist

Hi, I am studying my BSc in Forensic Psychology currently, and am considering my career options. I was originally pretty set on being a Forensic Psychologist, but after extensively researching the career path, I can’t seem to get a straight answer on a definitive route! It seems like a very uncertain pathway, which I am not too keen on. I am now looking at the direct entry detective programme, which seems like a much smoother route, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s totally aligned with what I want! If anyone has any pros and cons, anecdotes or advice about either, then please let me know!

Well the most obvious question is, do you want to be a Police Officer or not?
