Its interesting work - I did all white collar crime - I was and am a lawyer - I also became a Certified Fraud Examiner. The best guys are always networking, reading as Dave said - always thinking about approaching things from a different angle. I also have to say that surveilance is exactly what Mark said - hours of sitting and then waiting for the money shot. I had to get a shot of a government employee (video) of him meeting with another person - thats just when traffic got bad and obstructed my view, a traffic enforecemnt agent tried to get me to move my car, and a bunch pf kids started telling po po (I was in the Bronx). A lot of waiting around, but the work had its moments. OH PS there is a lot of report writing and dealing with people - so you should be a good communicator I did this type of work for an Inspector General in New York City.
