Anyone a security guard?

I can't find jobs for **** so I'm thinking of becoming one. Anything I should know before I start schooling for it?


I saw a tiny girl as a security guard at my school campus, so I thought if she can become one than why can't I?

Funny that i always thought it would be pretty easy to be one at a casino.

Dont do much but wander around the casino looking at people. Then giving old ladies directions and tossing out some trouble makers.

Right on, that's why I want to become one. It doesn't seem like I'd have anything to do, looks so chill.

Not much, just general advice on how to become one, like what to consider or whatever things I should know beforehand.

Just do it as a job. Don’t go crazy trying to get people arrested. I know a guy who was like a wanna be cop and ended up slamming his car into someone and pulling a weapon abd I think he is in jail

For sure, I'm just seeing it as an easy paycheque, definitely not gonna run after anyone while on duty.

I would only suggest it if it's a county job. I was a security guard with the L.A. Sheriff's Department back in the early 2000's. It was a decent gig and the medical benefits were great.

as with all "jobs" they want someone with the "experience" even though 99% of being a security guard is just walking around and talking on a walkie-talkie.

Yep, but I think the easy security guard jobs are available to those without experience, and those jobs are the ones I intend on keeping for a long time.

brah the city and county benefits from 2000 and now would be drastically different.

my city used to pay medical insurance for the entire family after a certain amount of years.

now people gotta pay for half of their own medical insurance, etc...

Because she is still bigger and stronger than you.

My buddies son used to do just that, was a security guard at our local casino . Said it was the easiest job you could possibly have , but boring and probably better suited for old people like me
Back with my Fam

Dont be a security guard at a casino....theyre very strict and force you to talk to the guests. Casino workers tend to be really ****ty people too...huge scumbags.

Get something chill like at a college campus or warehouse or something where all you gotta do is just walk around campus hitting buttons on the wall to show your doing your tours.

I had a sweet job as a security a few years back. All i had to do was sit at the desk overnight with noone around every night. Went back to college online and studied the bible in my freetime. Also watched lots of movies and tv shows during the night as well.
