What is it like to be a detective?

Does anyone on here know from experiance what it is like to be a detective
and what you do and stuff?

It's secretive

Here are some pros and cons I found for you:

Being a detective can be a very rewarding job...especially if your super-slueth skills help to put a bad guy in jail!

Sometimes detectives have to work "under-cover" which could mean disguising as someone else. Since they may need to gather information without being noticed, a detective might choose to wear a garbage mans uniform or pose as a flower delivery person.

A detective's job is always changing and is almost never the same each day. One day it might involve interviewing people and the next may be spent at the computer gathering information.

If you like experiencing different places and people, this may be the job for you. Detectives often get to go places that they wouldn't otherwise go and meet people they wouldn't otherwise meet.

Often, detective work involves working with unlawful or dangerous people . This can also mean going to dangerous places.

A detective's job isn't all about working in the "field" (meaning:going out interviewing people, looking for clues at a crime scene, etc.) A big portion of yhe job is sitting at a desk evaluating stacks of information and researching.This can be tedious and boring work at times.

Being a detective can be a very sad job. Since most detective jobs are to solve crimes (which may include murder), they are exposed to many hurting people drugs, crime, etc.
