1. It depends on what you want to do. I consult as a forensic document examiner and my training is as an archivist and historian. Forensics is more than just crime scene processing and psychology.

2. No. The word forensics is really just Latin for "having to do with the law." There are all kinds of forensic examiners. The word has become linked to criminal investigations, but many forensic specialists work on solving crimes, not just law enforcement staff.

3. To work a crime scene you will need a science degree or a specialized criminology degree. Either way, you'll need some science training.

4. It depends on what degrees you have and your expertise. Again, from tool mark people to artistists to document specialists, there are all kinds of forensic specialists.

5. Good, but very competitive. They pay isn't great. The real money is to get an advanced degree in a field (PhD) in something like physical anthropology and teach and consult.

6. Entry level usually means a crime scene processor. Pretty low. Three grand a month or less.

7. Criminologists usually work crime scenes and in labs. It can be grim stuff.

8. It is tought to do criminology part-time. In fact, it's a job where you put in lots of overtime.

9. No. In fact most forensic specialists are not cops.

10. I work as an archivist, but I have a lot of expertise in document analysis. I am often called in by the courts and the police to find clues hidden in documentary evidence. It is a lot of fun and a real challenge.

The Q under grew to become into "Do you like this music?" it incredibly is the extra advantageous Q because of the fact i'm at the instant reviewing some used discs i bought the day gone by to ensure what songs *I * will like from them, no longer some MCR, FOB or Jonas bros crap (it quite is a band, maximum appropriate?). Steve Earle's "the revolution starts off now" is on with Saliva's "each and every six seconds" in the on deck circle. together as on the undertaking of music, I even have an quite clean Q of my very own. Edit: i'm hoping that baby is getting PAID to plug that video! .....ZZZZZZZZ!!!
