Yes . . what we mean by having a side job or what some call their "day job", is like Kathy said:
As has been said, bail enforcement is a rough life, physically, mentally, and economically. It is a hard business to break into. Probably 95% combine it with some other form of income, so consider it a "side" job. If it works into a full-time profession, great. If not, you have something else to fall back on.
I think that all of us have other jobs that are related to the Bail / Recovery Industry.
Unfortunately for me the other Bail Companys here have their own in house "Skip Tracer". And people from other states don't always run to Arkansas. People (bail comps.) don't need people hunted on our time it is always on their time.
If I didn't write Bail I wouldn't have a roof over my head.
So can you be a student, yes but that might be a little more difficult.
and you wouldn't be concentrating on the task at hand and that is the education for that "fallback on" job
