This is my first post here so let me say hello and I'm glad I've found this site. Hope to meet some friendly and knowledgeable folks here.
My name is Rob and I've been considering changing my major to forensic science at the local community college I've started attending but I have one major issue I'd like advice on:
I served four years in the U.S. Air Force and while there I was diagnose with severe situational depression (my wife was very sick at the time). I've been doing much better since she has recovered and doing well in the civilian world. My fear is this depression diagnosis might prevent me from doing anything in the C.J. field, including forensic science.
I've contacted the local department head for C.J. at the college I would have to finish my bachelors but he is very busy I'm told and I haven't heard anything for over a month. I confess I am anxious to hear what anyone thinks at this point about my concerns.
I plan on posting this in the forensic science forums as well for as much feedback as possible and hoping between the two that this post will be in the right forum.
