Not your regular type questions. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the replies, really thanks.

I'm just wondering now - if you do it as your side job. What if you're in schooll or at your other job and you get the call to go pick up the fugitive? Have any of you been in that position? Or it doesn't work like that?

Thanks to anybody who replies to this question.

Edit: Would it be possible to attend a community college and do bail recovery on the side at the same time?

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

Yes ma'am. That's what I figured, but I just wanted to see what a pro/what you guys would suggest.

Yes, a call can come at anytime advising where a fugitive is...such is my current status. I got a call yesterday advising me where 1 of my "ghosts" is, thus I am on the road.

When that kind of call comes, the bondsman calls his best BEA first, then on down the line. Many is the time on out of town skips had I delayed responding they would have gotten away. There is an old cowboy saying : "you gotta strike while the iron is hot". This comes from metalworking/blacksmithing.

Yeah, that's what I figured. They go to the top BEA or some other one that's available.
