“If you’re not developing yourself to achieve your dream, then you’re just a
dreamer”
-Brendon Burchard
The most important skill that I may be able learn is to be able to stomach
grueling situations. For example, some labs are gross and the pictures on some
slide shows are stomach churning, but throughout experience I may be able to
build a certain amount of tolerance to pictures and such. Obviously this skill is
needed if you are to be a Toxicologist, since their main focus in their career is
dealing with bodily fluids/organs from the deceased. Their job is gross, yet
probably the most important job of all when it comes to a possible homicide.

“Find out what you like doing best, and get someone to pay you for doing it.”
– Katharine Whitehorn
Today felt like the longest day of my life. Well, I knew it would be because of a
sudden realization about a path that I would take when I graduate. Staring at our
ceiling made me wonder on what career I will take, upon thinking a couple of
times I chose to be a crime scene investigator because I find this job very
interesting personally. Being a crime scene investigator is the one who is at the
scene, collecting evidence on the spot. Without the crime scene investigator, who
will be the one who collects evidence? Or who takes measured out detailed notes?
Without them, there is no scene.
Typically the growth of being a crime scene investigator isn't something that is
expanding. In order to be employed, or to seek employment, you must move to
high-crime cities. For example, Grafton does not have as much crime versus
Milwaukee. A crime scene investigator would have a higher chance of being
successful in Milwaukee versus Grafton.
