Best Answer:
If you live in a state that does not require licensing all you need to do is set up a corporation and get a business license and insurance.
The best job you can get to prepare yourself is a job as an investigator. Put together a resume and apply at your states law enforcement, prosecutor or public defenders office. They are always seeking investigators.
Try an internship or apply with a local PI
You can join a group called IPIU, they will help you with internships and the kind of skut work assignments that can get your foot in the door.
