I've been serving process since I was 19 years old. I'm now 24 (I think  ).
I actually serve more process then I do notary work nowadays. Rules of Court allow me to serve all probate and domestic relations (family law) process, ALL subpoenas, and some civil process (pleadings, notices, etc.)
Because I am not a Constable, or law enforcement officer, I am not allowed to serve criminal process. My Network, however, consists of Constables and Deputy Sheriffs; therefore, when I have criminal process that needs to be served, I usually tag along with them and have them officially serve the process for me. (They carry guns........ I don't ).
Under a "4c Motion", I can serve whatever the court appoints me to serve. My favorite type of process to serve are Capias Arrest Warrants (civil arrest warrants for non-payment of court fee's, citations, etc.)
It's good money and the best thing about it is that it allows me to meet new attorney's. Process Serving is what actually landed me a job as a paralegal.

I was a process server for over 10 years in California. All you have to do is get a license, fingerprinted, background check and bond. You can work for anyone you want to. Pick an area and then call some process serving companies and see if they have an opeing for your area. Getting work from attornies directly will not be easy unless you ae willing to run all over everywhere. You can make good money. This job takes some street smarts - you need to be a person who is very aware of what is going on around you. Good luck to you.
