Got some news...
03.12.04 (10:37 am)
In June 2002 I graduated with a degree in forensic science. Unfortunately there have not been any jobs available in central Ohio in that field. I did some intern work for my instructor at his toxicology lab at the Columbus morgue the summer I graduated but that didn't get me far. I have been working for my father in law for the past year as an orthodontic assistent.

My instructor has kept in touch with me. The past few weeks he has been telling me about a possible job opening at our local morgue. I've kind of blown it off as if it happens good, if not oh well. He called me today and the position is open. It's a part-time position. They need someone to assist with autopsies, talk to the families and...(here's the awesome part...) sometimes go to death scenes. They basically want to train someone to be a death investigator. Oh my god!!! This is what I have been waiting for the past few years.

My instructor told me that I have a good edge on other applicants because 1. The coroner has known my family for YEARS 2. I interned for the crime lab while I was in school (the crime lab is in the same building as the morgue) and 3. They asked for his opinion as to who they should hire and he gave them my resume.

The job will be advertised in the paper this Sunday and next Sunday. I'm so nervous. This would be great!! It's what I trained for in school. I'm not going to get my hopes up too high, because I have no idea who I would be up against. All I can do is go in there and hope for the best.

But...here's the thing. I have been thinking about going back to school next year for Digital Media Design. I really enjoy being creative on the computer. So, I'm kind of torn now.

I would say stick with what you know and since it is a part time job - fill the other half with schooling. That would help you find your true passion. :)

That's excellent!!! All things happen for a reason. So there's a reason why it took 2 years. I think you should go for it and put ur best foot forward. Good luck and good for u gurlie.
