The perfect security job 

I'm now working at a hospital 12hrs a day, off every weekend.. I sit at a desk and every 2-3 hrs I do a patrol... Pay is pretty good and the hardest part of my job is staying awake..

I work Security at a Distribution Center checking trucks in and out of the site making 17 an hour. Hardest part of my job is trying to stay awake at night but I can use my phone so I just watch videos on RU-vid all night.

Facts! I work a very low incident/dead area in a vehicle patrol position. Honestly love the freedom of it, the fact it’s a seated position, and how calm the site is. A sustainable security job is totally dependent on the post and company but with an emphasis on the post! Great video

I remember working a hotel as an armed gaurd making 21.50HR and then my boss called me asking me if I could cover 1 month worth of shifts at a high risk site that pays exactly the same and one of the managers at this site asked me if I liked being there I said no why would I ever come and work here willingly and he says that's the problem people don't want to work it's not that we don't want to work but why would I leave a calm place that's amazing to come to a shit whole for the same pay ?

Standing up has to be the most strenuous thing, wether working as a bouncer or static guard, back problems knee problems etc are endless

My brother has worked in security since March of 1999 and he always thought it sucked but 5 years ago he got on as a security guard at a large Ford plant and he loves it. They stay pretty busy because there are thousands of workers there and always something going on. First security job he's ever liked not to mention the pay is very good!

I’ve learned a lot from your channel your also really good at teaching!

I bought an $8.00 USB charging desk fan from Walmart. It is so awesome. It helps me so much while I sit in my security office (2022 Bronco). I work 12 hours a day, hourlyish rounds. I love this job. I studied for a month and passed my private investigator state exam. I'm in the process of obtaining my "C" license. No other job will allow you to study so much while on the clock. Before becoming a COP, I worked in a Hospital ER. I loved the job, but there was seriously a ton of action. I finally found a great company and hope to stay here for a long time and grow with the company. Thanks for your video.

Need more security job out there everywhere

Worked security at a casino for 3 years and now working building security, got offered a correctional officer job for the courts although don't think it's worth it if I'm gonna be standing all day for similar money 🤔🤔

Just started looking into being a security guard glad I found out about you.

Love your honest takes on things man. Have a great day bro.

I hated lack of restroom

Im an SOC guard (cctv) easier security job ive ever had and i like it alot. I get good pay and at my site nothing happens. Pretty chill and the client is great. People say this industry sucks but it really doesn’t. I worked in kitchens and car washes and retail. Hated them. Ill stick with security.

You sending positivity and honesty , thanks for dedicating time to educate others !!! Be safe

Blessings to you bro, so glad you got an upgrade from those other posts!

Just had my first day as a security guard came from warehouse and tbh it’s better in my opinion warehouse I was breaking my back for 4 years decided to start security

Mall of America Security starts at $17.50/hr. for part-time and anywhere from $18.50/hr. to $23/hr. for full-time, depending on qualifications.

Looking forward to your video about doing security work as a college student! I just got out of the military, going to college and looking for something as a side gig. Very interested in security.

I'm currently a campus security, but before this, man, i feel you dud. Damn hard

Thinking of becoming a guard here in Las Vegas sounds like a chill job

I like this channel. The main character looks like a SWAT tactical officer. 'Liked'

I do security in Las Vegas. I'm unarmed. I was originally was put at a relatively safe store. Unfortunately we lost that account and I was put at a 99 cent store where everyone that comes in looks like a crook. It was a bad area. Constant thieves coming in, people giving me shit because I was told to collect backpacks, and their was a line of homeless that were sitting right outside waiting for me to go on break. After 2 days I told my boss it was too much. I take the bus and on my way home I could get jumped. He understood, and eventually found me a better place. Now I don't have to do shit but stand in the air conditioning. I don't collect bags throw anyone out, or stop anyone. All I do is stand there. Even if I wanted to be brave they tell me no let it go. Occasionally we will get armed guards in as well who take care of the Rif RAF. The managers are cool as hell to it is really laid back. It feels to good to be true.

The best security job is when I worked at a secure aerospace company. They company was having hangers built. My job was just to make sure that non of the construction workers went into top secret areas. I escorted the construction workers too. Best security guard job ever.

Sounds like Marine Corps level of micromanagement

He looks like Steve Buscemi.

I’ve been working warehouse jobs a lot but when i became a security i feel free 😂to

I`m at a standing post right now but we only actually stand 6 hours 30 minutes per shift. We get paid for the 30 minute lunch two 15 minute breaks. We get paid for 8 hours and 30 minutes per shift so we actually getting 10 hours free per week. We are making 750.00 per week take home and the job is a door greeter,

I've over 10 years experience in security and the best places to work is for Government.Here in Washington DC you have so many choices. Department of Justice Security $45/hour, IRS $33/hour National Archives $33/hour, Department of Agriculture$28/ hour, ATF Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosive department $40/hour ( requirements= Secret clearance, score sheet of Glock 17, 12 gauge shotgun certification, FPS certification. Easy to work, good benefit, always over time and pay is good. To work for Gornment you need to have security clearance DHS, FPS or in some areas Special Police license with security clearance.

i became a security guard thanks for your advice and wisdom

Dude a hidden Gem 💎 .....

For a lot security and police work at a Marijuana farm would be a dream job😀

Great video brother everything you saying is true I've been through it

In California, they hire almost anyone even violent felons to be security guards, unlike being a mechanic which is a skilled trade that relies on your mechanical ability, the iob of being a security guard is based on what people think of you.

Where are you finding $30hr security jobs at? I'm in San Diego and the highest I'm finding is like $15/hr for unarmed. Even armed is only paying on average $18/hr.

I am interested in this job

What you're saying is very true been there specifically jewelry standing up for..it's bullshit...... Armed security is a tough job if we don't get paid enough... People always give you a hard time and the clients are never happy

I did security in college and got to do my work at it

Yet again, A great video brother!

I'd love to do a job like that

Bro has on 3 body cams

Dude im at a retail store now and i felt every bit of his pain. It's so miserable im just paying child support so im stuck for another yr doing this

Perfect security job: High pay, reasonable schedule, quiet site, clear communication, competent management, etc. In other words, not security.

I feel u bro 😪 been there 🥲🔥

I use to have a 8am-8pm 12hr shift nothing but standing lol

3 body cams??

I work for AUS. Lot of people hate aus but so far ive had no complaints.

What do you think about working Security at a bank? My bf has his Class D and he's never worked security before. He doesn't know a lot about what to expect from different areas. I know he likes the idea of roving patrol and working at a hospital, but he doesn't know much about what security does at a bank. He wants to know a little bit before he decides which one to start with.

Used to work 6pm-6am at a cannabis farm. Working dispensaries now. Surprised you didn't go nose blind. We carry our long guns when we are out there. Shit gets crazy out at those spots. I love it out there, I work at a dispo in a bad area now, armed robberies, shooting, fights, burglaries, everything at my post now. Hoping to move to a rural courthouse soon. But rn, I'm in a crazy spot.

Let's talk ! Got your back !

Thanks man

Aha you just convinced me to go from securitas to Gardaworld they pay the same but Gardaworld is graveyard and I can sit or stay in my truck where as securitas I have to secure retail stores standing for 8hrs lol I’m tired of dealing with robbers

I know how you feel about working the marijuana industry..I work it here in LA and it's very dangerous..I've had 3 times where they tried to break in and had to pull my shotgun which I carry besides my side arm..but got used to the danger and it pays well..stay safe..

What kind of security jobs can I get wesr I can dress more tactically? Rather than be a mall cop lmaooo. I currently work at allied

Keep it up man!

Coming from an infantryman background, what certs would you reccomend to help boost your value when looking into workin security overseas, I'm currently looking into the high risk training package at ESI to start.

I fell you on the standing 8 hrs, when I worked as a ULP officer , my first days all my bones hurt but after a while I didn't fell or i probably got use to the pain. Also times goes by very slowly. Great video.

Since I heard you say it about ur coworkers (no shade in ur direction) Don't fire warning shots especially in california. When you draw you got intent to kill or you dont. Firing warning shots is dangerous, a waste of ammo, and you take ur firearm off target to the sky leaving yourself open. Only draw in a deadly situation and if you plan on defending yourself. Itll also go better in court and you'll live longer. California will try the hardest to find any wrong doing.

That’s interesting I work at a farm but we just sit in an office sounds like yours is outdoors. Ours indoors just watch cameras checking in and out employees very chill especially weekends cus there’s only one employee. Everyone is armed but we’re not open to the public I can relate to the smell tho luckily for us we can close the doors so it only sucks when you have to walk into specific rooms

Man retail security sucks 🤦🏼‍♂️ specially like you said high crime area.

Nah. I got have to get job where I can rest my game leg. All these kind of jobs are out. Maybe night watchman or something. Then again the night air might bother it.

Highest paying ones are federal contracts but they are strict in hiring, shooting qualifications, what you do, how you dress, and coming exactly on time no calling out. Best jobs are subjective.

What kind of situations do you come across and how do you handle them in hospital?

I worked for a Mall in SF Bay Area, for couple years. That was cool. Then started working Cala Foods loss prevention in SF. That was very interesting and violent. Then went to Montgomery ward Oakland. Rockin and Robin. This was back when loss prevention still went hands on. Chase and fight. Then to Wienstocks Management in San Jose area. Doing employee theft. Ended up opening a company. Ups, comp usa, and apartments. Id g o back to loss prevention. Not uniformed. But to each his own. Thanks for giving me opportunity to share.

I appreciate the content brother. Good stuff as always, I know this video was a couple years ago and your last video was 5 months so sometime has past since then hope you’ve been well my brother and I don’t know if you happen to still be around but I was looking at getting into the Security field and just wanted to ask you a couple questions to see if you might have some information regarding that which I’d appreciate any help. I am in California currently looking to get some Security experience before I move to Colorado possibly in the beginning of the New Year. I know each state requires different certifications for Security. I am looking at starting as an unarmed Guard and then with some more experience getting into armed maybe. I just completed the initial state training here in California with the 8 hour online course, and then the state application and then the livescan fingerprints and finished all of that which was simple enough and now just waiting on the GuardCard approval process which could take some time before I am eligible to start working as a Security Guard. The application and training process was easy enough like I said earlier but the thing I am having difficulty on is deciding what is the best Security company to work for. I know it really comes down to your post assignments and what suits you best both location wise and what is involved at each post assignment and each one is different and suited to everyone differently I get that and finding the best post for yourself the thing that intimidates me slightly and I can’t decide just because of the vast options out there is how do you go about finding what is the best Security company to work for. When it comes to the larger corporate Security companies there are just so many of them out there in multiple different areas across the country, from AlliedUniversal, Securitas, GuardaWorld, Prosegur, G4S, Weiser, Paragon Systems, ADT, Brinks, Pinkerton, InterCon, Constellis, CSC USA, AmericanHawk, American Guard Services, National Security Protective Services, Guardsmark, Arcadia Security, and then a bunch of smaller more independently run Security companies but that list right off the top of my head is at least 18 different companies that are large to decently sized enough like 20 companies on top of the smaller lesser known Security companies out there that is a lot I have no idea how you go about picking a good Security company to work for and what even to look for, I’d appreciate it brother if you had any tips or ideas regarding that because that is really what I am stuck on deciding what companies to look into to work for. I’d appreciate any help on that brother, have a blessed rest of your day my man, God Bless-Andrew.

You in the Bay right? What are some of the armed security/unarmed companies you worked for? Suggestions for companies you liked and didn't like?

Was up Sir, great video

Changes the game when it’s a gangmember doing it

How about wearing those vests for 8 to 10 hours. Maybe more. I did it for a 5 hour shift, more than that must be rough.

I get 20.00 an hour, here in SATX at a convenience store, but right downtown, and there are tons of Homeless crack addicts causing trouble

I’m 25 looking at getting into armed security already have my cpl too unfortunately don’t have a vehicle yet but have reliable transportation anyone know of some good armed security companies in Michigan? im serious about doing security work

Very informative information Thank you. If you were given two offers one at a hospital and the other corporate security and it's a 30 cent pay difference what would you choose?

Nice vid 👍🏽❤️🙏

Ok I declined the Job with another company because it was 50 minutes away and I would guard in my car,but it was full time and a extra dollar in hourly pay, and went with another company that have a guard shack that’s 20 minutes away But it’s part time I will have to wait till someone quit or get fired because I didn’t want to do the drive daily or sit in the cold in my car, they don’t pay for gas and also I’m unarmed ,so I don’t make a lot like a armed guard it wasn’t worth it,it’s a waiting game for me but I’d rather be happy then quit

I currently work for Advantage security as a site supervisor, and im telling you nothing beats killing time like watching youtube vids 😂that is when i even get a chance to breathe….much less watch videos…. Downtown Denver locations you constantly kicking out homeless people and finding drug overdoses

What’s up buddy! I ordered your load out pretty much exactly! I have supervisor experience. I am also in California. What do you think a company should pay a boss (me) lol. I’m 6’4 armed security with supervisor experience.

I just got my exposed firearm permit Ana i stay in bay area ? just curious what company are u at

What do you think about a foot patrol job ? No car no golf cart in the hot Florida sun?

Its great for college students but im a married family man so the job is more important ya know. But i certainly use my time researching and looking.

Are those 2 taser cartridges on your upper vest

Hi I like your video.. can you tell me which security job is best for girls??

Sounds really similar to my transition from Gardaworld to G4S

I work at a hospital in Florida, thought it was good, but they got security bringing bodies to the morgue and anytime there's a code we have to go, anyone else in hospital security deal with this?

Any security companys in SoCal that pay more than $23/hour? Drop your company. Thanks.

In security it like show the money. Retail security is one worst place to be.one sucks about it your standing all day .oh I forgot to add its low paying.

Specially standing when you’re armed security with the weapons and armor and uniform, helmets and even duty belts😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓 I’d rather walk

Can you make a good living being a security guard while being single

Farmers stand up 8hrs a day

Good video!

I’m going to share something with you, I am working for the security company in Orlando so the Manager and Franchise and he……,,,,as like we starving officer

The dude sneaking up to you is a joke. I had a boss do that once until I stuck a gun in his face. Hospitals can be rough depending.

im not a college student but 21 and got let go from welding school then from a friend as a commercial painter i just struggled at the trades and couldnt pick it up. my church has an security team a guy invited me sorta to join b4 i started welding but maybe i can contact him again and start there just i wonder if theres a career in security? or if i will even like it. im a nice guy and everything not very confrontational but i think i could do security. would be worried about the hours too.

Is 23 an hour good for retail security?

Being in security for two months now it’s annoying work at Myer 7 hr shift complain about you can’t catch aut theft don’t know how to do your job why sit down. I sit a couple of min there and there do u have a email I can send. just want to stop this shit feedback.

Where can we find your body cam vids?

Stay safe And don't get caught for trespassing because of course that could happen to you And thats The Truth of The matter.

I'm thinking about getting into security, what are the requirements for getting into it and how do I get a post like yours? x)

I'm curious, since you listen to podcasts do you listen to Joe Rogan ?

Where do u apply

U could have taken UR gear OFF & ask 4 one of those shields that stop bullets ./ work station 4 YOU with solar panels 4 covered of the sun .!? Belivet me .! That's the least that they should have Made 4 YOU or any other guard.! ?
