Brandon’s Answer

The Special Agent occupation and the Crime Scene Investigation occupation share many similiarities in what they do. They are both major jobs when it comes to investigating a crime scene. From the research I was able to find, the differences that I was able to find was that the Special Agent and the Crime Scene Investigator both try to record evidence and information in different ways. With the Crime Scene Investigators, they appear to be more centered around what is found at the location of the crime. They examine the location extensively, taking every small piece of possible evidence into account from finding the smallest hair, footprint, bodily fluid, etc. While with the Special Agent, they are in charge with the interrogation interviews, specifically looking for any clues for any part of the case that may have been overlooked or lacks in evidence, collecting evidence from potential witnessess and bystanders, etc. Keep in mind, that in some areas, these duties may differ.

Daniel’s Answer

One thing people overlook, is to become a special agent you need to be a perfectly behaved child. This means, you can't party, get in trouble with the law, or basically have any other stains on your resume that would come up in a background check or polygraph. This is such a serious job, that most people cancel themselves out of after there high school days after brief issues with the law, school etc.
