What kind of job does "Greg" do on the TV show "CSI (in Vegas)"? Title? Education? |
I love all of the sciences and I am fascinated by forensics and crime-solving via scientific methods. I think I would love to work in a lab, analyzing physical evidence from crimes- and for lack of a better description- to perform the kind of work like the character "Greg" performs on the original CSI. What is the actual title for a job like that? What kind of education does one need (particular major/classes, etc.)? Who would be the employers for such a job and what credentials and experience would impress them? Do you work in this field? What are the high and low points? Best temperment suitable for the job? Hours? Anything else of interest about the reality of working such a job? I wasn't sure how to categorize this question. If you have a suggestion for a better category, please let me know. Thanks! I helped my ex-wife get her way into this field. If you are looking for either lab work or field work, you should still follow some of the same steps. Chemistry is the most important area to study, then, when you have a good grasp, move on to Biology. The chemistry is very important for the labwork aspect, and the Biology for studying decay (time frames). You will also want to study Criminal Justice, minor if lab, major if field work is desired. It will help you understand the legal processes needed, as well as providing you with the framework of the field that forensics is contained within. Become a volunteer officer. most local agencies have a volunteer program, as they need volunteers to help with the work load. You don't even have to be out in a car, but you likely can if desired. This will help when you are competeing for a job. One position my ex applied for had 600 applicants, so anything you can do to set yourself above is helpful. She had military training as well, but I don't reccomend that unless it is in your heart. Thes are trying times, and it will place you in danger. So only join the military if it is in your heart. The Hours are hell too, so be aware. 12 hour rotating shifts, at least where my ex is. Good luck, and make sure it is what you really want, because it is a demanding job.

They also have the Washington state Forensics lab on Campus. http://www.ewu.edu/Home.xml Also study Photography and accounting (Photographing crime scenes/evidence and counting and processing recovered money & evidence) i do believe he's the DNA man.. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/csi/... I think Greg's a forensic Scientist. Greg Sanders (played by Eric Szmanda) is the newest field worker on the CSI team since the season 5 episode "Who Shot Sherlock". He idolizes Grissom, and is known for his "wacky" behavior. Szmanda is best known for playing Marilyn Manson-fanatic/forensic geek Greg Sanders on the wildly popular crime drama television series CSI. His character's trademark is listening to heavy metal while conducting forensic research in the Las Vegas Crime Lab. :: About Greg Sanders Role/ Character :: Greg Sanders (born May 5, 1975) is a fictional character featured on the US crime drama television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Greg is played by Eric Szmanda. Greg Sanders grew up in San Gabriel, California. Although friends and family told him that science was for geeks, Greg knew from a young age that he wanted to become a scientist. In Coming of Rage (season 4 episode 10), we find out that he had a palate expander, braces, a retainer, and head gear while growing up. Although he was never good at sports, Greg was the captain of the high school chess team. In Fannysmackin' (season 7 episode 4), Greg reveals that his overprotective mother refused to let him play sports in high school because he was her only child. Greg successfully managed to juggle studying and athletics, and eventually went on to earn his degree in chemistry from Stanford University, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He has a wide variety of hobbies, including surfing, scuba diving, and numismatics (the study of money - in the episode Precious Metal his knowledge of the subject helps the investigation along). In Precious Metal we also learn Greg likes supermodels and latex. Greg could be considered the most "normal" member of the CSI team. He's always smiling, he remains somewhat optimistic and he maintains a lot of interests aside from his Crime Lab work (he listens to Marilyn Manson while running lab machines and hides porn magazines in some area cabinets). This is most likely due to his youth; he hasn't been fully subjected to the horrors of this job like the rest of the team. He is also not concerned with the financial aspect of a job -- just the joy that it brings. In one episode (season 3 episode 22 Play With Fire) he was involved in a lab explosion, which he survived. In another episode (season 7 episode 4 Fannysmackin') he is severely injured after he risks his life to save a tourist being beaten to death by a gang of teenage thrill seekers. He later tells Gil Grissom that he has kept his promotion to CSI a secret from his parents because he didn't want to worry them. Grissom tells Greg his mother will be proud of him for saving a man's life. He started out as the resident lab rat, sitting quietly in his lab working away on the loads of evidence and DNA the CSIs brought in, usually responsible for making discoveries about pieces of evidence that would crack a case open. Eventually Greg grew tired of the lab and longed for a position out in the field. He failed his first test when he urinated in a toilet at a crime scene, but eventually attained the rank of CSI level one. At his low rank, he mostly only assists at crime scenes, collecting evidence and helping the more experienced CSIs. He rarely interviews suspects. However, he later graduated to investigating crime scenes on his own. In Fannysmackin' (season 7 episode 4), Greg celebrated over dinner with the female district attorney after his testimony at a jury trial helped put away a criminal. Early on in the show, Greg had a huge crush on Sara Sidle, which may or may not have disappeared. However the two remain close friends, as Sara was Greg's mentor through his training and continues to offer him helpful hints. Greg is also notable for his ever-changing hairstyles. :: Greg Sanders' Education :: From the official CSI: Crime Scene Investigation novels, written by Max Allan Collins, the seventh installation into the novel series- Killing Game, we learn that Greg was a child prodigy. Excerpt from the book, page 114, lines six - 11: " A precocious kid who'd started matriculating a year early, he went from public school, where he regularly blew through tests, to an academy that at least presented him a more significant challenge; then Greg had gone on to Stanford before spending two years as a lab tech at the San Francisco PD. " Then from the same book, at page 117, lines 12 - 18: " Through most of his life, Greg had fought the prodigy's natural urge to rush through things. A lot of school, especially high school, had been painfully easy for him. He would wait until the night before (or even the morning) before class to do his homework. This habit had stayed with him, though the lab had nullified that somewhat.
