Model Gigi Hadid wanted to be a forensic scientist until she discovered how long she'd have to study for that.

"I've always been interested in (criminal psychology). First I wanted to be a doctor. Then I wanted to be a forensic scientist. But to be a forensic scientist means you have to go to school for eight years," Gigi was quoted as saying by Vogue magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I was like, 'Over that.' I realised what I enjoyed was trying to unravel people's brains why people commit crimes when they get older," she added.

Hadid dropped out of the course last year after her modelling commitments grew too much but she is happy she didn't quit earlier.

"I was really happy I waited to commit to modelling full time. I think that having a core of other things is so important. I can go to a shoot and then get on a horse. I have things to talk about," she said.
