I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't have any idea. You'd have to ask an anthropologist.
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
I like doing both, because being in the lab all the time can get tedious, but being at crime scenes all the time can get exhausting.
Any kind of lab work, lab courses or internships in laboratories or with the criminal justice system.
CPR Trainer
Is it possible to perform CPR on animals?
Pharmacist
Have you ever given someone the wrong prescription?
Tattoo Artist
Is it illegal to tattoo a client if he's drunk?
I really don’t know, since my degree is in biology, not forensic science. You should ask one of faculty advisors in the forensic science program at the university (or better yet several universities). You could probably just call the departments on the phone and ask.
I have no idea. You'd have to ask the review board. Since statistics are just numbers, how do you know it's not included?
It can be very stressful at times when unexpected overtime or court interferes with life plans, and at times when we are exhausted/hungry/have five detectives all wanting different things at once. But I just focus on the job what needs to be done right now and looking forward to a shower and bed. No, the job is about what I expected.
