What does an average day as a CSI look like?

What does an average day as a CSI look like? Is there a mix between long days and short days or is it generally the same every day? Do I get to work on criminal cases or something different? I am very interested on what a work day would look like as a CSI.

Is there any way to become detective under these circumstances ?

I mean, can someone become a detective(not the civilian one) without starting as a patrol officer and taking years? That too, with the power to issue arrests and other such powers. (Especially in India.)
