Join us for the next episode of Taboo Topics: Money Problems in the Forensic Field! If you're new to Gap Science or aren't active on social media, you may not be aware that Ashley and Erin had a segment called "Taboo Topics Tuesdays" where they went live on Instagram and talked about topics that are avoided or "brushed under the rug" in the forensic world. These discussions quickly became a fan favorite and many followers chimed in with questions, insights, and varying perspectives.
On this episode we'll chat about our experiences with money issues in the forensic field. This discussion covers problems with low salaries for public servant positions, lack of compensation for advanced degrees and certifications, and the differences between government jobs and private contract positions. Stay tuned for Part 2 next month! We'll continue discussing money issues in the forensic field + the differences between sworn and civilian forensic positions.
