hi, I'm new, so i'm not really sure if i should be posting this in here, but ill do it anyway.

 

i am currently in high school, and i want to be able to get a job working for the government when i am older. i think i would enjoy working in the field of cytogenetics, but i am not sure where to start. can anyone recommend some good books, and tell me what classes i should take in high school and college? also, do you think this would be a good career choice? it seems like you would always have something to learn, and it would never get boring. i would really appreciate your help, and please, don't bash me if this is in the wrong section, just have a mod move it. thanks.

I don't think that many people specifically work in the field of cytogenetics. Cytogenetics is really just a tool for finding out other things, like fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) or polytene chromosome analysis of Drosophila salivary glands.
