Can you be a part time private eye?

Part time private investigators, or private eyes, can work on a flexible schedule, often handling cases outside of regular hours.

Part-time private investigators can earn varying income depending on their experience, location, and the complexity of cases they handle.

Success in this role also depends on skills such as surveillance, interviewing, and report writing.
