What do you lads know about the private investigations business? It's something that I am seriously considering getting into. Image aside, I'm not buying into the glamorized teevee version of this industry, I'm just a slightly autistic guy who works well alone and is meticulous about gathering information. I help my father with his investment properties and he is always impressed with my ability to dig up information on prospective tenants (and he is a lawyer who has some experience dealing with this sort of thing). I don't think it's something I would want to do forever, I have a trade school certificate but I am having trouble finding someone to take me on as an apprentice, I just don't want to take some minimum-wagecuck job where I have to deal with a lot of people as this is just not my thing. I'm certainly not looking to get rich from this, but does anyone know of the earning potential here?

How are you gonna get information if you don't interact with people? How are you going to be at two places at the same time when your job requires you to observe more than one person?

I can interact with people,I just prefer not to. A private investigator spends most of their time in front of a computer and/or doing surveillance from the seat of their car.
>How are you going to be at two places at the same time.
If we could solve that mystery I think everyone would be more efficient in any job. Got any suggestions?

Buy a shovel, go to a graveyard, dig up your 85-year-old-deaf-and-dead-grandmother, analyze her corpse.
PROFIT??!!!

Doesn't sound like it's for you.
A huge part of any of these jobs is "social engineering", sometimes when the technology leads fail you need to actually straight up ask people things, however a lot of the time it'll be calling up people or striking up conversations with them, seeming totally casual and making them feel so at ease they speak candidly about stuff.

Charm and conversation skills and pretending that this intimate thing you're telling them is a secret that you would tell nobody else... now they feel compelled to share something with you... switch conversations a few times: Oh, now I know James has a ex-wife who lives in Nevada.

Read the book "How to Disappear: Erase Your Digital Footprint, Leave False Trails, and Vanish without a Trace".
Basically a PI who explains how half of this shit is done. Having cop friends helps, it seems.
