    IPIU is The Best Thing to happen for Private Investigators!

    , IPIU is so Awesome. The knowledge that is available here is priceless. Everybody is so supportive and encouraging to one another, I just love it. The information is wonderful. Everybody shares with one another, and to me that is very important. It is great to know we all have the opportunity to grow. I just can not say enough good things about IPIU.

    Tamra funny you mention spelling...I was sooo wishing there was a spell check here! I tend to get over excited too and my fingers do not work with my brain. hmm Or maybe I just can't spell as good as I used to ...explains why I have a dictionary within arms lengths now that I have joined this site. lol I think I will put "spell check" in the forum as a suggestion later! Have a great day.

    See you on the boards,
    Andrea Davis

    There are so many opportunities that cost money to get involved, and I have done just about all of them. I've sold Sprint Phone Cards, Amway, Maxxis, Aroma Therapy, Vitamins, and the list goes on. I was into so many things that each time I came around, I would be asked, "What are you doing now?"

    Each opportunity cost $200 or more, but I never got my money's worth. IPIU is the only opportunity that I have experienced that pays for itself 1,000 fold. Not only do you learn some of the most awesome things, which in itself, is worth thousands, but you make decent pay when you invest time and successfully complete the assignments. I highly recommend IPIU.

    I to am amazed at all the support one receives here. I have been doing alot of reading and find myself in awe of so many of you. I have been inspired by the many wonderful stories and the hardships that some of you have had and to read that you are now achieving your dreams, it truly is inspirational. Thank you all.

    I have been well encouraged and supported here and when I get a chance to get on the computer with some free time I try to encourage others also. I wish more jobs were like this.

    I agree with Tamara, that IPIU is very suppotive and is a good source to gain information. But, I was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me. Since, I work nights and the majority of the weekends, are there other times that assignments are given? Because, it seems like the weekends are the only time assignments are availabe.

    Any chance we'll ever get the "edit" button back? Those of us who still employ the "hunt & peck" method of typing would sure appreciate it!

    Tamara,

    All have said it before and i say it again. Congradulations on finding this family, thanks for sharing as we all learn little things from each other. I used to go to the threads and read but felt it would be redundant to comment, i now feel it is good support and we should continue to comment and appreciate each other.
    Regards,

    This place is great. We have a small union in Australia http://www.aipd.com.au/ but it doesn't have enough numbers to really be a force. Unlike IPIU. I would dearly like IPIU to forge ahead in Australia too, then this place would truely be an International site.

    Hi Ashley,
    It truley is a great place. Have you tried referring some of your Aussie colleges to join IPIU?
    I do run across several post from your fellow countrymen here on the different threads.

    G'day Steve.
    I have referred a couple of Aussies here. I feel though, there are many differences between the countries and they may be disenchanted. You only need to look at the thread with regards to handling badges. Seen it?
    Anyway, I see the benifit here and hopefully it will help me in Australia as much as IPIU helps all of you here in the USA.

    Sleep....oh yeah i remember that.lol. No latley, too much on the brain.
    As for the badge issue, crikey, i hope it will blow over. We all use our badge as needed at times. In my travels i have learned it's not just which state you are working in but which continent, there are always differing opinions. No worries.

    I checked out the website (thanks!) and found it very professional. Wouldn't it be nice if all the licensing laws were the same across your country? It's as much a hodge-podge as it is here, between the States.

    I'm with you there, Fritz! I think IPIU is the WAY it is because the staff and the members here DO put their hearts and sometimes their SOULS into this place. just my thoughts.

    Thanks mate. Yes it would be good to have a national system. There are too many government people involved for that too happen.
    Oh well, one day.
