"The best part of my job would have to be the flexible working hours. I'm able to pretty much set my own schedule and work whenever I want as long as I get my work done. Again, this is due in large to the fact that we don't work directly with the public. Another good thing is how much I learn every day. It's a great experience for what I want to do in the future. The worst part would have to be the autopsies. We have to be very careful while in the morgue because it's a risky place for infections. Also, the odor from bone dust produced from the medical examiner cutting into a deceased patient's skull is very offensive."

"The first tip I'd like to give is to have confidence in yourself and your learning abilities. I guarantee that you'll feel lost when you first start, but you'll catch on quickly and you'll be amazed by how much you're learning. The second tip would be to always wash your hands. The risk of contracting an illness in the lab is high due to the closeness of working with human samples as well as harsh chemicals. The final tip I can give is to ask questions. Asking questions is the best way to learn."
