Anyone know what's involved of having that as a major, and becoming a CSI agent?

I assume you mean forensic science. There are various types of it, ranging from computers to psychology to anthropology to insects to chemistry to biology and possibly some others. Which one(s) are you more interested in?

Well I would really like at being on the crime scenes and investigating the scene... I am good at observeations, and odd things that just don't fit usually..
Would I have to go through knowing the compounds, and equations like h2O+B ... ?

Check out the crime scene investigation association its a dot org site it will give you some info and answer some questions.
You can go alot of ways to become a CSI. You can enter through the police field but to get into the field at all you need a Masters of science in a related field like biology or chemistry or forensic science. Try calling your local police station and ask for their recruiter or some one in the csi department that you could ask questions to.
Hope this helps some

Thanks for this!

You'd need to know chemical equations definately if you were to be oriented towards forensic chemistry and to an extent, forensic biology. However, if it's forensic psychology, then there's no need for that.

Perhaps detective work or forensic psychology is what you're interested in?
Thanks for this!
