What must one do to become a medical examiner (someone who performs autopsies?)?
You must become a medical doctor with a specialty in pathology. That’s four years of med school, a year of internship, two years (I think) of residency, and some extra time in your chosen specialty. It takes about nine years after getting your undergraduate degree, so about twelve years in all. Salary depends on location to a large degree. Big cities usually pay more than small towns, but no matter where you go, you certainly won’t starve.
