Considering a Career in Forensic Accounting

Hello all,

I'm interested in getting some advice about a future in forensic accounting.  I've read that the forensic acccounting future is bright.  But a few questions:

• Is it possible to obtain an internship in this group?  
• Is it possible to get hired directly into this field or do most people transition into it from another area area?
• Are the hours as crazy as in other areas? Is there a busy season?
• Would it be helpful to have a year or two experience in audit before moving into it?
• What about exit ops?  Are they the same/equivalent to those in audit/tax?
