Answer:
1.Crime Scene Photographer: These are normally City Gov't jobs, so check City Gov't/Gov't/ County job vacanies. Please know that you do not have top be a college graduate. These jobs can be obtained by On the job training. Investigator: You will need some college, but try becoming an Police officer, Emergency Dispatcher or Police admin personnel. Any job in the Police department will get you in the running for either of these jobs.. FYI: Always check USAJOBS.GOV for Intern programs...I am in the Field myself.. Save your money for a house.. Apply to the police, sheriff or Fire Department.
Just in case your interested, You can become a Fire Fighter/EMT or Paramedic by Volunteering.. You get more training and your better suited for the job. Once again On the job training.. 3. My family is in the Funeral Business: Call or Visit a local funeral home and inquire within. This can be an On the job training opportunity as well. To drive an Herse, just have a valid Lic and compassion.. Tact is everything in all of these positions.. You are truely a public figure.
First I would do something called "informational interviewing". Find some folks that have these jobs and ask them how they got these positions, educational requirements. apprenticeships, and special training requirements, pay rates (always a good question), make a list of questions that you feel is important and find. Go to the source.
also I dont think your question is weird. These are required occupations and someone has to perform them. Might as well be you.
To each his own, right? lol
The morgue doesn't have people do makeup that I'm aware of but the funeral home would so you could check for jobs at the funeral homes in your area for the makeup job or for driving the hearse (although that is usually done by the owners or some of the old timers there).
As far as crime scene photographer and investigator, that all falls under a police officer position where I worked so you'd have to join a PD and work your way up as you build up seniority.
You could check with some police departments and see if they have a Photo Lab and see what kind of photos they take. Our Photo Lab was comprised of civilians and they seldom, if ever, went to crime scenes but they were involved in various other works for the department that might help you get your foot in the door.
