I have a question : you all seem interested in various tareas, but if you pursued a career in forensics, based on what you say, you would all become lab rats .. wouldn'it bother you to spend 24/7 in front of a microscope analysing stuff. I know that's my worry with firearm analysis. So I wondered if you were more interested in the "being a detective" part of forensics, in research, or in conducting the tests...

Well performing tests are definately what the "labrats" do. Even if that is doing scene reconstruction type testing.

It is pretty rare for any publically funded crime lab to allow anyone to do any research. Usually a lot of that is done by University students/professors who don't actually engage in forensic science.

But yes. No matter what specialty area you gravitate towards, there will be some days where you are tired of "sitting in front of a microscope". But no more so (and probably less) than any other highly specialised profession.
