Yeah, I definitely understand how that could be... I mean most people looking for any semi-dream job must have been let down by a job really is: work. I mean even guys who test games for a living have to test the same game over and over and never get to play anything else until they've found the bugs.
That's not to say that there should be less people majoring in forensics in my opinion. I mean the justice system is bogged down with letting lawyers do all the convincing. Science should play a bigger role in ruling over who lives or dies. Anyhow, I think there should be even more forensics laboratories opening; those people switching to forensics did have good intentions though naive as they were. There should be as many forensic scientists as there are detectives... but maybe I'm the one being naive.

Yeah, I was a Classics major and became an underpaid, overworked AmeriCorps volunteer tutoring kids in ... math. So these high school students tell me that their math problems look like they're in Greek, and I just write some actual Greek on the board and let them figure it out ;D . My chemistry background lies in me knowing something about just about everything, having lived with and being friends with chem and engineering majors in college, and hanging around with all the math/science teachers at the school I work in.

Just OOC, what interested you in explosives, specifically, synthesis and detection? I'm always curious to find that out.

Classics major eh? That's cool. At my university we have an organic professor who originally was a classics major and has a degree in it but turned over to chemistry in grad school.
