    Did 3 of 4 years of Forensic Science and CSI. 80% is Lab/Science concentrated. I hate it. Want to do Forensic Criminology/Psych. What to do?

    Hate the thoughts of sitting in a lab and analyzing evidence and at the end I just get to present it in the court of law with a slight chance of ever going out to an actual crime scene or ever getting to talk to actual people involved in crime. I want to engage with people, criminals and victims alike. Any suggestions on what to do are welcome (transferring to any college preferably second year. I just want to save time because I'll be 25 soon). I also have basic knowledge in Psychology as I took 10 week course while I was still in school. Basically, I want to get out of my course/transfer before it's time to go back and do my 4th year in the IT. I tried to make myself think oh this course is cool and other various ways of what could I do after college and there is plenty of what I could do, but everything is so detached and scientific. I want to be directly involved with the people.

    Info: IT Sligo, Ireland. Course - FA8 Forensic Science BSc (4year course). UK accredited. Most of the lecturers Have Pharmaceutical/Chemistry/Biology background which is not what I'm looking for at all.

    Despite the piss taking in the other thread I was actually trying to help.

    It makes no sense to quit 3 years into a 4 year BSc. If you want to change direction academically, finish your course and do a masters, otherwise you'll have to start again at bachelor level.

    Besides which, quitting looks really poor on a CV and at some point you're going to need to persuade someone to give you a job.

    Feel free to disregard my old man advice.

    First of all read what I wrote, I didn't say quit, I said i wanted a transfer, anywhere possible, if there is a chance, I'd like some suggestions.
