Career Question: Forensics or Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS)

[bjcheung77]

Those two are similar, yet very far apart, here's an example: And this will range in duties from assistant, technician, technologist, up to scientist.
Forensic Scientist - Think of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), where the autopsy is performed by a forensic specialist to find cause of death.
Medical Lab Scientist - Cancer Research, where one does scores of testing and documentation of possible alternatives to treatments for patients.
I believe the educational level would be the same for the first two, even third year of studies. The major/difference would be the final year.
