You have to be a police officer first and once you are that you have to be one for a certain number of years then you can apply to be a csi however you may not get in because there are so many already.
I also read that if you ever id a finger print wrong then that is the end for you because they want to be able to put people on the stands in court and say with confidence that this person has never id'd a fingerprint incorrectly.

You get used to it. The worst things I experience are unclean houses. I'm not talking about someone who hasn't picked up some clothes or vaccumed in awhile. I'm talking about people leaving in complete flith. It is an unimaginable smell until you actually experience. The first time I walked into a house like that, I about puked everywhere. Sadly, I've been in enough, that I've gotten used to it and it doesn't really bother me. Some people get over it, some don't. It is very much the same with any other crime scene, medical call or anything in the "gross" area. Car crashes, murders (thankfully, have only been to a couple of those), deaths, other accidents, ect. After a few of them, you tend to get past to the gross out. Most police officers, firefighters, crime scene people develop a rather morbid sense of humor to help them cope. As for not being able to sleep at night, I've never had a problem with that..

The following website link provides detailed information from a number of Universities offering Crime Scene Investigation training courses, certificates and degrees.
In addition to course information, you should also be able to get some very good related career advice.

It is a HIGHLY overpopulated field. Everybody thought i would be cool after all the shows came out, now there is an overpopulation.

Crime IS a growth industry, though.
