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.
It almost certainly would not be a deal-breaker. Just tell them the truth.

How long did it take you before you could quit your day-job?
I wouldn't have any idea about that.
Share Answer: 
I really don’t know, since my degree is in biology, not forensic science. You should ask one of faculty advisors in the forensic science program at the university (or better yet several universities). You could probably just call the departments on the phone and ask.
Share Answer: 
Go to a college that offers a degree in forensic science. Each college or university should have a website where they list the degrees they provide.
