First, a reality check: you won’t be interrogating suspects or solving the case in a single afternoon. Real CSI work is 90% documentation and 10% "aha!" moments. You’re a forensic scientist, not a detective—though sometimes your evidence is the star witness.
Your job is to collect, preserve, and analyze physical evidence. Think of yourself as a professional trash collector with a PhD in attention to detail. You’ll photograph bloodstains, bag fibers, and test for gunshot residue. Romantic? Not always. Fascinating? Absolutely.
