Question
I wanted to know if the program of Computer Crime Investigator(also known by Cyber Crime Investigator or Forensic Computer Examiner) is a good career choice here in Florida? St. Petersburg College has it. If there are other colleges with good track record with this program let me know here in Florida, or Central Florida.
Thank you!

Answer
Hi Daniel,

There are several that have it but St. Pete has a really good program that has been around a while. We have one at Santa Fe College also. Its not so much the program as it is getting a job in that type of work.

Broward Sheriff's Office just posted an opening for a Forensic Examiner (civilian# and it started around $50K. Not bad to start. And there are other places that also have civilian jobs like it.

The government is also a good place for this type of work. I suggest looking around at different places that you want to live and then see what the job market is in that area #forensics) and see what you can dig up on it.

Be well and stay safe..
