This is from the Welcome Newbies thread; I had posted this section on our agency message board a while back. I was bumping it up for our newbies, thought I'd c/p it here:

WHICH SKILL SHOULD I GET NEXT?

Every detective is different has another strategy. But you will need a combination of interview skills and smart skills.
No one can tell you exactly which skill you will enjoy the most. But the general opinion is:
1. Get the basic smart skills (hair and thread) - without those you cant find all the evidence.
2. Get either charm or tough interview skills to begin with. Later you can try both, but its not recomended before you have most skills.
3. Get research! and if you can- lockpicking.
4. Wait with faction skills till you have most basic skills. The faction skills arent necessary in order to solve a case.
4a. The only exception to the waiting on faction skills is Green Hand's Pugilism for the tough detectives which for all intents and purposes is tough's version of flirting. Other than that one exception it is best to wait before purchasing faction skills.
5. Dont get safe cracking unless you are in an agency.
6. Dont get judge of character unless you have both charm and tough interview skills (not for beginners).
7. Read the other threads that begin with this topic..."WHICH SKILL SHOULD I GET NEXT?"
