- For both forensic Sc and Competitive Intelligence..u need 2 have common skillsets and those are: Keen Observation Power, Passion to Search 4 Truth and Seeing the Unseen.
As far as joining the forensic science course is concerned u can surf more on internet according to ur desired country/city where u want to pursue this from. And also lemme tell u det it is not merely searching 4 fingerprints and doin some chemical reactions in the lab but a big umbrella under which u search about anything and everything which is under question.

- Yes - I did indeed attend Mercyhurst College, what exactly would you like to know?
I can tell you that the program is stellar and constantly improving with advances made in teaching practices - the competition is heavy and instructors are top. As for specifics, review the website http://mciis.org/ if you have not done so already and get back to me with questions.

Walter,
I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…
Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective

Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
