Do you like analyzing things? Are you detail-oriented?

Do you have a tough stomach for gruesome things? If

you answered yes, you could have a future career as a

crime scene investigator! Read on to find out more.

PROS: You play Sherlock Holmes and use clues to solve

a crime and catch bad guys. Plus, you learn skills like

how to take crime scene photos and dust for prints!

CONS: Lots of night hours, writing long reports on all ofthe clues, seeing death on a regular basis.

ON THE JOB: While being a CSI can be exciting, itsnot exactly the way it looks on TV.

THE CASES: Its not always about hunting down a serial

killer in fact, most of the cases will be smaller crimes

like burglaries. On average, you work on 5-10 cases a

week.

THE WORK: At the crime scene, you take photos and

bag any potential clues (it might be something as

simple as a pencil!). Then you send the important pieces

of evidence to be tested for DNA, and you run

fingerprints through a criminal database, review any

surveillance video, and write a report describing every

single clue you find (there could be anywhere from 1 to

300 or more pieces of evidence at a crime scene).

IN GENERAL: Most departments pay $30,000 to $60,000

to start, the higher end being more common in bigger cities

like Los Angeles or New York. With experience, you can

earn up to $100,000 after a few years. And if you work

more than 40 hours a week, youll probably get paid for

overtime.
