>> You have to be able to compartmentalize.
I mean, we see a lot of things in this job, and you can't take it home with you.
And you can't perseverate over everything that you see,
because we see horrible things every day while we're here.
But with television, forensic sciences are such a huge part of our culture now.
Everyone's so much more aware of the job descriptions.
I actually teach a couple of times a year in 2 high schools.
They have year-long courses on forensic science.
So the information is really out there now at this point.
So for young people that thing they want to maybe be a medical examiner, or pathologist,
the key is to get good grades in school, though I can testify to the fact
that if you don't you can always eventually get to the point you want to be with some hard work.
So get good grades.
It doesn't so much matter what you major in, in college.
Medical schools are looking for well-rounded individuals,
so as long as you could show you have a good grade point average and you've experienced a lot
of different things, volunteering, just really getting out there and seeing as much as you can,
that's what the medical schools I think are looking for right now.
