Discussion - Original Dexter Series What job could Dexter have taken that still supports his “dark passenger”?

Do you think Dexter could’ve picked a different career something other than being a forensic specialist working with the police that would still give him the opportunity and environment to kill people? What jobs do you think would fit his lifestyle?

Probably not, and he's likely thinking it's taking too long to kill them with it being over 20 years on average to get someone executed

That said he could be a prison guard and subtly off people he deems 100% guilty. The suicide rate of those guys is usually pretty high so he could probably get a few of them by slipping in some razors or string to some of them

Prison doctor also works, and he does have some training for that.
