What Type of training do you need to be a Crime Scene Investigator?



I either want to be a Lawyer or a Crime scene Investigator but I do not know any kind of training or special school that i need to become a Crime scene investigator, I know all about being a lawyer, but could someone tell me what i would need to be a CS Investigator?

For CSI, you need a hard science degree such as chem, microbiology, entomology, etc, (not food science) and a masters in forensics.

To go to law school you need a BA in anything except basket weaving.

I'd recommend getting a hard science degree. Libaral Arts degrees are a dime a dozen.
Law, politics, Forensic science, biology, chemistry, anatomy.
Forensic Science which incorporates chemistry, biology, microbiology, law among others. Usually a B.Sc and now many schools have a M.Sc and some have Doctoral Programs. Some schools actually still have a A.AS then you will have to gain on the job exp.

Most investigators start as Patrol Officers which means you need to go to a Police Academy first, then become a cop, then work you're way up to patrol.
However, if you are more interested in the scientific part of crime analysis, there is another path that I can't explain to you.
I work as a Deputy Sheriff.
