Believe me it's not all glamour as you see on TV.
I won't go into how I know, but best thing I can suggest is you speak to your local Police Station and if's a friendly one ask to talk to the SOCO team and see if you can spend a day with them....Chances are you'll be a bit bored so take a good book!
You can get no where in life without passion and you cannot base your assumptions on anything other than experience, and some glamour at that. CSI and stuff like that DO reflect some of what goes on, using a very unusual skill to track down baddies IS cool, and CAN be exciting.
The only other point is that the actual form a job might take may not be totally to your liking, and most importantly may not fully exploit the best of your skills. I find that I enjoy most that which I do best at. I always wanted to fly planes after I saw Topgun...never got there. But I bet there are a few up in the air today who thought of it when they saw topgun! Follow your dreams, but just make sure it's something you'll really enjoy.
Actually I really wanna be an artist.
