#and in a classroom setting w/ impressionable kids he'd drive himself nuts trying to fit into that role

the popular alternate for barry working as a forensic scientist is to make him into a k-12 teacher but i really do think he has too delicate of a constitution for it. like can you even imagine he'd catch two teens making out behind the stairwell and turn so bright of a red that he starts wheezing in secondhand oxygen deficiency. he's way too hyperfixated on corpses just let him loose in a cemetary and all of his problems would magically fix themselves.

#i saw a post about this earlier and spent an hour figuring out why the job just didn't seem to fit him at all#b/c jokes aside he is canonically really good at teaching but i think the social aspects would just make him miserable#in a sense he's too impatient...like way too quick to write others off if they don't mesh w/ him#b/c he's so assured that he's bad at interacting w/ ppl that he doesn't particularly try#and in a classroom setting w/ impressionable kids he'd drive himself nuts trying to fit into that role
