    No, no, this level of crazy is rated C for "never without a condom because babby commitment with her =[Michael from the Office shouting NO]"

    I did leave shortly thereafter though. Close enough?

    I imagine fairly easy

    you just need to find an office and not pay the rent for several months

    have a small to middling problem with drugs or alcohol

    and wear a snazzy hat

    so in my case it's because i was working for a rent-a-cop security guard company and i happened to be called upon to do security for a concert for a boyband

    at that concert i met their bodyguards, and chit-chatted with them a bit, talked shop

    found out what company they worked for

    applied there

    that was about it

    keeping in mind i've got a year of security experience under my belt, a couple years of being a bouncer, and i have a diploma in police foundations

    so, there's also that

    wat?

    Based on the number of porn videos with this happening, I'd say its surprisingly common.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    in Ontario, you need a licence to be a private investigator (I have one, technically I am licensed private investigator although i don't actually do that for a living)

    however it's a shitty job that is largely worthless now thanks to the internet and the like, and for the most part PIs don't have anything to do with crime per se so much as they are professional stalkers that rat people out to corporations that they're in violation of a contract or agreement

    for example, workplace insurance companies still regularly employ private investigators to stalk claimants to make sure they're actually injured and not trying to rip the company off

    i got my licence since it was easy to do and was basically an add-on to my security guard licence

    but i don't even put it on my resume, it's worthless

    i have both of those qualities, thankfully

    i got my interview the same day i applied, because the boss man saw me filling out my application and was like "whoa hey bud stick around, i wanna talk to you"

    got my interview on the spot, and hired right then and there

    helps that i'm also, you know

    good with people

    i used to work in sales before i decided to switch career tracks entirely
