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.
No. Depending on where you work and what you do, your employer might want you to be 'certified' in one area or the other.
I checked city and county websites for job postings.
Sure, I'll email you. You might also want to look over earlier questions on this site.
Why does this sound like a homework question?
Audiologist
Are earbuds dangerous for my ears?
Bouncer
How often would you find yourself in real danger?
Couples Therapist
Does a therapist aim to "fix" the client, or just treat the client indefinitely?
I'm not a doctor but I don't see why not. If the flesh and muscle is being crushed between the ribs and the person's hands, that would have to cause damage. Sometimes CPR can cause cracked ribs.
No.
Juries' unrealistic expectations of forensic science may make court cases harder to win, but that's not the same thing.
Usually in forensic science or any kind of natural science. If you want to go to into drug testing or toxicology, major in chemistry. If you want to do DNA analysis, then biology or biochemistry.
