What is in your heart?  What are you really good at?  What are you a natural at?  What is your passion?  And can you make a living doing so?  That is what it comes down to. Keep in mind certain fields are like pro sports. IT is one of them.  There are lots of talented people out there however not everyone gets into the pro's.   IT is very difficult to break into. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Mon, 5/20/13, Michael Havens wrote: From: Michael Havens Subject: Re: Fwd: ot- job recomendation To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Monday, May 20, 2013, 12:40 PM I didn't understand what I was supposed to do with the hedgehog. Was I supposed to do all of the steps or just the one about finding the personal hedgehog. I looked at it and they wanted me to take 3 sheets and write down what I love to do, what I'm passionaate about, and what I can do to make a living. Well, I liked it when I was working in structured wiring but I didn't make enough to make a living at it. Then there is the passionate thing.... I can't say that I'm passionate about anything (head injury ensured that). :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 11:35 AM, keith smith wrote: I wonder what your person Hedgehog is?  Do you now Micheal? ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Mon, 5/20/13, George Toft wrote: From: George Toft Subject: Re: Fwd: ot- job recomendation To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Monday, May 20, 2013, 9:49 AM In my opinion, skip tracing is like goggling for an elusive answer, but more boring.  And once you find the person, then you're just a bill collector.  Every big financial company hires skip tracers.  Debt collection and asset recovery firms hire skip tracers.  I can't imagine anyone wanting to be a bill collector, especially if you have a quota, which most companies have - they only want to hire collectors that actually collect.  Skip tracing is just a part of the bill collection process.  So if you're good at research, you might do well skip tracing.  If you can sell ice to an Eskimo, you might be a good collector.  I learned a lot about skip tracing from my ex-business partner.

I didn't know what that was but I didn't say anything and that got filed away in my mind for a later date. Well.... tonight is that later date! So I typed it into my search engine (duckduckgo) and found out what it is. I think it sounds cool! So, my question (for those of you who know) how do I go about getting training and whom do I seek jobs from? I found http://www.skiptraceseminar.com/ but want to know if anyone has any personal experience. (I'm getting excited) :-)~MIKE~(-: --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
