CSI, Anthropologist, Professional Opinion?

I want to be a CSI or something having to do with forensics...

Don't start telling me the differences between CSI in real life and on the TV. I am not dumb, the differences are obvious.

I am 15 years old and i am in a class called Science Research, i was going to do a project on different environments and situations affecting the decomposition on a pig (kind of simulating the "Body Farm", Anthropology Research Center, in Tennessee).

I would just like to have a professional outlook on things, like describing their job, and see where i should go from here, what i should study, anything that would help.

Thank you

    I'm currently getting my degree in biological anthropology at university. I don't know where you live, but here you don't need to take any special courses until your first year of university, when you take a intro to anthropology course. Then in your second, third, and fourth years, you decide which branch of anthro you want to specialize in. But yeah, don't worry about it until university.
