    Hello /k/ommandos. I was offered a security job and I intend to take it.

    Anybody on here have personal experience as to what the job is like? What should I be expecting? What should I do/learn/buy/etc. before I start?

    No. I think I might just use this job as a springboard of sorts though. Get experience in security, then use some connections I have with the Longshoreman and get a security gig at the docks.

    Security jobs here in South Texas are fucking lame. $7.55 to $9.00 is the most I've seen. Sucks ass they're paying such a shitty low wage while you're protecting potentially a million dollar investment.

    When I did construction, we had a security company that had a trailer on site where the guard would live on site. Just another sucker being paid minimum. He would actually let the spics come in at night and steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of material. So not only were we paying thousands in security costs, but we were also losing thousands. It was horseshit. Bunch of fuck ups, homeless nigras and just ONE good white guy.

    Pathetic actually describes being a security guard pretty well. Plus you have to remember that we are talking to someone who's sole aspiration is $10/hr. So we'll keep it to simple words. It's a job for someone who is dumber than dog shit. The only people that want to do that crap are losers who think wearing a uniform makes them important.

    Everything depends on where you are working as a security officer at, or whether its day shift or night shift. Day shift is probably more fun because you get to do more shit but it will get old. Night shit is not as interesting and gets really boring. Thats what I did. You might not be able to get away with doing homework if you're working day shift though.

    So you're a college student without a brain who earlier claimed to be doing this in hopes of getting a job at the docks watching nothing happen? Just wanted to be sure I got that right. Now, since most colleges are back in session in three weeks, just how much money are you going to earn for books? $150? That will barely buy a single book. You should look at text book rentals.

    Just admit that you have the uniform complex.

Not sure how the fuck you figured $150 since I said I make $10/hr. I take home about $300/wk and I have 5 weeks until classes resume, so I'm gonna have money to live off of after buying books.

    Note thati t's best to get a signed affidavit saying that the buyer actually legally owns a preban high-cap that needs repairing, but it's not necessary.

    Some places require this. Most don't.

    If you're so successful, why do you feel the need to belittle college (and younger) age kids that are actually going out and getting into the job force?

    you need to relax bro, try 420chan instead of /k/. anyone who rages so hard at fucking security guards on 4chan needs to seriously re-evaluate what they do with their free time

    Unfortunately, /k/ is now lawless. It is beign spammed to shit and the mods aren't doing anything about it.

    The only sensible option is to completely rebel. Let's see it--all the gore, spam and CP you can muster. It's not entertaining the way it currently is. We, however, can change all that.

    Never said it was a monster paycheck, but it's better than working in fast food for $8/hr, and I live pretty fucking humbly on about $20/wk. Again, college kid living with his parents for the summer.
