Digital reconstruction is a real (and very difficult) job - it's more done in scientific fields than crime-fighting IRL. She would really need those art and computing skills.

This.

Also, like many crime shows, Bones tends to take several smaller and less-glamorous CJ careers and combine them into one giant force for awesome.

Often characters like Angela or Garcia on Criminal Minds do work that in a real job would be assigned to multiple people: a crime analyst, a computer forensics specialist, a geographic profiler, etc.

Shows don't have permanent cast members doing these jobs because a) not super glamorous and b) you may not need one for every single case. So when they do need to make a map of where the offender may live or coordinate data on several cases with similar MOs or crack into someone's damaged harddrive... they just give that assignment to a character who already exists and does a somewhat similar job.

I came here basically to say this. If you ignore the science-fantasy happening in ALL aspects of Bones, but most emphatically around Angela And her Magical Computer Of Making Intensely Boring Things Visually Interesting, her job is not only very real, but incredibly demanding.

I went through a hardcore (CSI-induced) forensic science kick in my late teens, and I have a near-worshipful respect for the people who can manage to do these things in real life, because not only is it often soul-crushingly depressing to be working with dead bodies/crime victims day in and day out, it's also incredibly demanding, and not terribly lucrative.

I read an article about one of the people who helped identify bodies in a mass grave of US soldiers from the Pacific theater and tiny Army Brat me sort of was curled up in a corner crying for a while. Shit is so intense.
