I would love to become a QDE but am having a bugger of a time getting my foot in the door: I am not law enforcement, my degree is not in a science, and there isn't a qualified lab for me to apprentice in for several hundred miles - I don't even think there is a certified QDE in my state at all.

At this juncture I find I have very few options: Move, go into law enforcement and hope to move toward QDE work, seriously consider Bart Baggett's online "university", or research on my own until I can convince someone to give me a chance. For now, the last option seems the best idea.

My question is this: How and where can I get materials to study from? Finding materials that are not copyrighted pre-1950s and which do not require memberships seems impossible to find...Any ideas, suggestions...anything at all?!

Help! :) And thank you in advance :)
