Forensic pathology is a specialized area of pathology. The forensic pathologist performs autopsies to determine the cause and manner of death in situations falling under the jurisdiction of the local medical examiner or coroner.

Some are mentioned above. The pay is not all that great in comparison with that of physicians with similar years of training. Eventually you may become heavily burdened by the continual exposure to the all-too-graphic evidence of man's inhumanity to man.
