Is ROTC a good choice for someone wanting to work in a forensics-related field, like CID?

I’m currently a senior in high school, and I am attending University of Central Florida in the fall to study forensic science. Right now I’m highly considering joining ROTC to join the military after college and work in a forensics related field. Granted, I’m not the most knowledgeable about the military and neither is anyone in my family, which is why I’m asking on here. But I’m just wondering if doing ROTC is worth it with a forensics degree and is it even possible to go straight into the CID after college with my degree and through ROTC? I’m trying to decide now that way I know if ROTC is a good track for me.

The three value-add activities that helped propel my post-graduation career =
1) Rowed Crew
2) Joined a Frat
3) Received a commission as a 2LT via ROTC
Earning a degree notwithstanding.
Pro-tip: Get some Ray-Ban Wayfarers! The future = (very) bright! Good luck!

Chiara Mardegain Thank you for considering the military as a career and welcome to RallyPoint! Below are two ROTC posts. You can search on "ROTC" and "CID" to gather additional information. I have also added a link to the ROTC at the University of Central Florida. Best wishes on new challenges and adventures.

I am currently a serving member of the national guard, and will soon be attending college. Are the ROTC benefits all they’re cracked up to be?
