I'm fairly interested in security. I'm working building houses right now but my back is aching and whatnot and I'm not trying to deal with any severe pain problems 20 years down the line.
I think I have some aptitude based on my former line of work, I'm also a big dude (6'3" 260 pounds, lift 3x a week) most wouldn't fuck with.
For example, recently I visited my cousin at a detox (psych ward he was coming off pain killers for a few days to a week at.) Within 5 minutes I had spotted 3 easily accessible weapons in his room, he wouldn't use them but the psychos might.
The mirror in the bathroom moved, I put a little pressure on it and it popped right out. Their were 2 fluorescent lights in the room, one on each side covered with plexiglass. One of them had a couple screws loose, I flexed it a bit and realized you could easily pull that shit off and get to the bulb. There was a metal panel on the ceiling, presumably covering electronics or some other danger. It was slightly ajar, I looked/felt at it for a second and saw that any simple lever would rip it right off.
I told the security there about it, they obviously had no interest in looking/reporting etc. Lazy bastards. Keep in mind this is a psych ward, schizophrenics bipolars junkies etc.
If this is entry level security quality I figure I could run a whole crew.
edit: Forgot to ask a question. What kind of jobs are out there in security? Possible to make a living?
