Could this be a career for me?

I am looking for a job that I can do at home, so that I can stay home with my kids. I worked for an attorney for 11 years doing matrimonial and real estate work and then had to stop when my kids were born. Through the attorney's office, I've worked with private investigators on matrimonial matters as well as title agencies doing title searches. I've always found this kind of work fascinating. I came upon the usatrace site and saw the investigator's kit. I wanted to know if this is something that I can benefit from and has anyone tried it? We are on one income living in New Jersey (the most expensive state there is!), and it may sound silly to some, but I can't afford to send money in to something that won't work for me. I'm interested in getting involved with background checks and searching for people. Can anyone guide me and keep me from scams?
