I loved doing background investigations and PI work. It could be exciting, ever changing, and often utterly fascinating. I loved the travel and, honestly, the drama. But the hours sucked and the pay was weak. IT/Network Engineering pays me literally 4x what BI/PI did. There may be a happy medium there in cyber forensics or incident mgmt (or other security roles). But if the pay was closer... I'd consider going back, for sure.
