What's it take to work in CSI?
So I've been watching the show and their job seems like a lot of fun. And now, I'm wondering, what exactly is required of you to work in CSI? For what its worth I have a BA in Mathematics. Anyone know? I would imagine you'd need some type of science degree, chem, biochem, etc...

As for what kind of degree you'd need, I'd suggest any school that offers a specialty of forensic science, or any life science like biology or chemistry.

• Quoth adamblast •<HR SIZE=1>The two CSI shows portray their profession about as realistically as Murder She Wrote portrayed the life of being a novelist.

Obviously, realism is not that important to the viewing public considering that these are/were #1 shows.

I don't think there is anything "Fun" about it..
What the show fails to show us is how repetitive or boring their jobs are.
They sometimes show this - like when they had to tag and photograph every bullet hole when that machine gun went off in the warehouse. Uhhhhhhh!!! I could never do that .
Or put together a plate glass window.
It think this is what they do.. not "fun" to me but to someone else - Go for it

The last time that I saw a REAL CSI in action, they were in a rusted Ford Aerostar, not a Hummer or a Yukon. I was thinking about the same thing about the profession too. The CSI that we are watching on TV makes it look fun because of all the toys that they get. I doubt the real deal has any of it. If you remember anything from the O.J. case, CSI failed... the DA should have called Grissom.
