Day-to-Day Work
Most days, Forensic Science Technicians will do a lot of different tasks. One thing they do is analyze evidence from a crime scene. They will run tests on the evidence to find out who or what is somehow involved in the crime at hand. They will also travel to the crime scene to collect evidence and take photographs. They normally spend most of their days in a lab.

Advantages & Disadvantages
One advantage to this field of work is that you might be the one to solve a case. But there are many disadvantages. One is that some evidence you are working on might lead to a dead end. Also, you might not find any evidence at a crime scene. If that happens, you have nothing to do. Another advantage is that you work normal hours compared to the people you will work with.
