I intend to pursue my MS in Forensic Science over the next few years. All of my forensic science training was on the job. Tarrant Co. Medical Examiner's Office Crime Lab in Ft. Ron is the lab director and Joe runs the Forensic Biology unit. I like the challenges offered by the job.
Every case has something unique about it, so the work is never dull or boring.
Working crime scenes is particularly challenging, as is testifying in court. Make connections and network. Contact anyone that you may know in law enforcement who can put you in contact with a local crime lab. You could also contact a crime lab and see if they allow tours of their facilities. Get to know the people working in the lab and, if possible, meet the lab director.
