Day One in Private Investigator Class

Well, I just started my PI intro course today (class 1 of 6), part of a neighorbing city (Plano's) continuing education series - What a hoot! Best $75 I've ever spent. Love the instructor too (he looks and acts like Matlock - no joke). :rolleyes:

It's my "backup plan" in case I don't make Police Reserves' physical requirements, or can't get a decent-paying civil job in the PD - but the more I think about it, the better it sounds, at least to earn some spare pocket change. The money sounds pretty good for the people that are good at it, so maybe I can just quit by boring old "day job" after a few years - WOuldn't that be nice, but I'm kinda gettin ahead of myself here :D

Have any of you guys done any PI work? It sounds like it can be rewarding, but also very tiring doing record searches and survelance, and potentially a lot of dry holes that pay nothing - but I guess that's a problem with every self-employment business.

Now after a night ike that, I sure hate to go back to work this morning.... I must be gettin old if sitting in a class for two hours is the most exciting thing I've done all month :(

So, you work in Texas, and you're a private investigator, huh? I know a certain Texas Investigator who might be able to help you out...then again, you might not want to take his advice!!!:rolleyes: :D

LOL - No, I'm just exploring the PI field & taking a 12-hour/6-week course right now, not working as a PI.

It's on my list of things I may like to do though :p

I'm tired of looking at a computer screen all day every day, but MAINLY I want to work for a more noble cause again - At least when I was on DoD projects in a former life, it was a noble cause even though I was still looking at a computer screen a good portion of the day (when I wasn't blowing up missile circuit boards) :D

For the last 15 years I just work cuz I have to pay the bills - No fun in that.
