We all have heard of how cheap everything is in Iowa–it may be the only thing you have heard about Iowa in your whole life. With a cost of living that is this low, it is easy to think that anyone can sustain a decent living and rent a good home there no matter how low the wage is. Luckily for forensic science technicians, Iowa offers wages that even make it past the national average. The employment rates they have might not look impressive to you, but don’t let that stop you from trying to go and try yourself.
