Also, Abby, the Lone Lab Tech, is played by a woman that has a Masters in Forensics. She's actually capable of doing what she's pretending to do on the show.

I am so hooked on that show, although I only watch the re-runs because I have no clue when it's actually on.

Not that there's not jobs in that line of work. Just that they're all separate jobs, and most require to work your way up from the street to the detective bureau, or to have a science degree and lab experience.

I have wondered about that process for some time now. Of course it makes sense that in order to be a detective, you would have to go through the process but what about the criminal psychologists and the coroner, etc? Do they take the same steps as the detectives or is the forensic side of it civilian working for the force?
