One of my oldest son's friends is graduating with an Associate's degree - he lucked out with a part time job placement during college with the country coroner. He is pursuing his degree in another state and plans on working for the Hennepin County (in MN) coroner's office. A good foot in the door.

If there are no positions at the coroner's office, volunteer your services. You might get the grunt work, but you have to start somewhere. Other places, other than the morgue, are the homicide detective dept of your police and the highway patrol.

Good luck. It is a rewarding job that not everyone has the constitutiion and dedication to detail.

hey, im doing the same thing you are. But i dont do the body thing. What do you want to do? Look up forensic medicine. To work in their you would probable be considered a medical examiner, actually running tests on toxics in the body, COD (cause of death) and go to crime scenes to examine the body. Look up this before what you were trying to look up
