Living the CSI life
As a recent online graduate from Saint Leo University with a degree in Computer Information Systems, this article resonated with me in a big way. Currently I am seeking to being a career in computer forensics, and am getting different opinions about how much of a grind it is. My conclusion, especially after reading this article, is that the grind is worth it in helping to clear an innocent man's name or to convict a guilty felon. Also, there is a certain type of pleasure in scouring lost files and making sound conclusions out of the evidence you find.
