Welcome to Deb PI

Deb PI is an idea I had this Spring when I was floundering on what I was going to do with my professional life.

I started looking for a job in January. I actually came North to Rhode Island to sequester myself in my room, determined that I would find a profession that I would like to work in.

My friends laughed at me because I chose the wors't time in our lifetimes to find any job, let alone one that I liked. I figured I was smart, savy and had lots of skills that any company couldn't live without.

I was wrong.

I spent weeks in front of the computer looking for jobs online. I called everyone I know to ask them for help with finding a job. Nothing worked.

I changed course and decided that I didn't have the skills for the job I wanted so I had to find a way to get those skills and then get the job. I hunted through jobs online to just decide what I might want to do and then I was on a government job site and saw many different types of investigator jobs. When I researched what credentials I would need to apply, I decided I needed to take a new road to get there.

I looked online for a school to get the PI credentials and found BU. I signed up immediately only to find out shortly thereafter that the course was delayed until July because of lack of interest.

I started looking into government jobs that anyone could get and were at least related to private investigation. I found jobs available with the TSA (transportation security) at the logan airport. It is a long process to apply for that job but I went for it. I went through all the steps to apply but when I was finished, there were no spots available. I am in what they call a "waiting pool" for that job.
While interviewing for the TSA job, I found out that once you have a job with the TSA you can move within the government job base with ease. This combination seemed to be perfect for me.

Now I am waiting for a job to open up Logan International and finishing my Private Investigation course at BU. The whole experience has been uplifting.

I have even met a Professional Investigator who only does criminal cases and am getting a little insite from him.
