A skip tracer is some one who attempts to locate someone who has walked away from a debt or obligation. They generally are paid as a percentage of any recovered funds. Don't confuse these guys with bounty hunters.. these guys are looking for you to settle up your old utility bill .
Contact local collection agencies for a start or for a resource.
It is not all that glamerous work but it IS work.
If you want a little more action consider being a Process Server (the guy that hands a defendant the legal papers and then beats feet outa there).
