What are the steps to becoming a CSI?

Question

I was just wondering what kind of schooling you should get, what you should study, how to start out, and what its really like, you know, compared to the show.

Answer 1

You need to study (and get a degree in) Criminal justice.

Answer 2

well I would figure alot about bodys, and I got told by alot of people that being a C.S.I is sooooooo much harder in real life they make it look way to much fun and easy.

Answer 3

You probably want to get a degree, leaning more toward medical sciences, then get on a large city police department.  Where I'm at, you would be an officer for a while, then apply and take a test to become an "evidence tech", then hope you can eventually get into the Crime Lab, which I don't think is an easy feat.....

Answer 4

omg!!!!! i wanna be a csi too!!! well from what i heard u have to have at least 2 years of college before u can go to school to becomming a cop. then u have to finish another 4 years after that at another college willing to give u hands on traing like ITT technical institute school of criminal justice. u have to major in either phycology or forensics and whichever u dont major in u HAVE to minor in...then u basically become a cop before becomming a csi so u basically have to go thru and extra long cirriculum status in order to become a cop to then become a csi... =D i no its alot but i just basically summed it up for u...hope i helped!!!!!!!~
