Career as a Private Investigator - Private Detective
It's about time you gave some thought to what you want to do with the rest of your life. Along with becoming an adult come opportunities and responsibilities you’ve probably never thought about before. A career is a critical piece of the puzzle.
But what kind of career? That’s the million-dollar question. Only you can make this decision, so you should choose the career that’s best for you. Start by taking a hard look at yourself and your abilities. What are you good at? What have standardized test scores and other assessments revealed about your innate talents? What do you like to do? How much money do you want to make? Where would you like to live? How much education are you willing to get? These and many other questions will be answered as you take the first steps down your chosen career path.
Some careers just seem more exciting than others. Being a private investigator is definitely one of them. This would have to be a very cool career even if judged simply by the number of movies and television shows made about private investigators. Few professions have been glamorized as much as the business of private investigation. The exploits routinely depicted in movies and television programs are at the outer fringe of the real-life career. Most PIs, as they’re usually called, don’t carry guns. Those who do almost never use them. A decades-long career in the real world may produce only a handful of experiences suitable for a movie or television episode.
A career as a private investigator can be a very challenging and rewarding experience. You’ll find it to be exciting even if you never get into a high-speed car chase. In fact, the current generation of private investigators spends most of the time behind a desk, mining the Internet for information to support their cases. Old-fashioned shoe-leather investigation and surveillance are still a large part of the career, but computer forensics and financial investigation are offering more opportunities than ever before. Some of the most successful PIs are actually accountants.
