security helped me through college. I got paid 15 dollars an hour for sitting in an office. I did my homework and watched a lot of UA-cam. Although time to time there were incident calls and I had to make reports, overall I had a blast. Sometimes thought it's a mental game.
Kinko Sam dude I can feel you, now I’m working like that!
Can I Pl hv your contact details kinko sam
Kinko Sam did you work secruity for a hospital or bank?
Kinko what kind of security were you and do you know any company that’s hiring right now, ASAP reply thank you in advance man
Getting paid $14 an hour to sit on your ass and practically do nothing all day but sit in a rollingchair in a lobby at the desk and check ID card's is fantastic ain't it ?
I switched to doin security here in the uk after years of doing heavy construction work and driving cement trucks granted it’s less money and long hours but is easier on the body as I ain’t getting any younger at 46 but landed a good site and a good co guard who I get a laugh with
How much do security guards get paid over in the UK? I’m a security guard in Australia and it’s roughly around $34 an hour on a day shift and $48 an hour if you work night shift.
@-K-L-O-S-A-N-T-O-S It can vary between £10.50 an hour to £14 in general security guarding slightly more if you have the additional cctv qualification the big money is in in the private/close protection security which generally goes to those with an ex military background very difficult to get into which can fetch upto £300 plus a day
I am a security guard. In fact I just posted a day in the life video. I enjoy my job! It is mentally exhausting, boring sometimes, and you have to always be vigilant. I think it is a wonderful step forward, if you are considering law enforcement. I know people who have made this a full time career and they've enjoyed it, but will tell you it is very dangerous, so always be careful.
Why it’s mentally exhausting ?
2303mitt you work 40 hours, your always fighting against the time, time goes slow, plus you will be standing for the most part, and lastly you can’t get times to hangout with your loved ones or your family.
Fuck off I'm being fucked over and M fuming yet they kissed me ass being in army reserves and having worked in prison bollocks I bet your fucking manager
Our Big Huge Little Life I love security myself. My job offered me a higher position if I finish college. Mentally exhausting whew you said some lol but overall I have a lot of fun doing it
How to apply
I’ve been a security guard for eight years now it’s definitely something I’d like to do for the rest of my life
@G B lol
Same. I don’t mind the work, pays & isn’t hard on the body. All you have to do is show up. That’s basically it. Most sites I get, you mostly just sit.
@Steph C I have been a Security Guard for 14 years . I have worked Multiple Jobs over the years anything from helping the Police Department going around as a Ticket Auditor you check the parking meters , make sure nobody is taken up more than one parking space , they have there tickets for the parking space if you work the State Fair. Some job sights are Los Prevention under cover Security Work you walk around the store like a shopper makeing sure people aren't stealing anything . I have also worked in Hotels & Bars, Loading Docks inside of Warehouses helping load 18 Wheelers , worked the lobby at the desk off an Office Building . Some job sights can have you set up at the Metal Detectors checking bags, line directing people an other sight could have you sitting in a Guard Shack checking ID's as vehicles come through the gate . Another sight can have you roveing checking for locked doors and chemical spills safety hazards. I've also worked Control monitoring the surveillance cameras, security systems , radio and answering employee call offs . Patrol Officer is usally Level 3 Security Officer Armed Commission but not always . You drive around checking up on the other guards from post to post . Checking the parking lot makeing sure nobody is breaking into vehicle's. Most of the work is very similar to being a Police Officer if you're prior military or a Security Officer you automatically get 10 points on your Law Enforcement test before you even sit down and take it . Level 3 Security Armed Commission is like going through the Police Academy depending on how much time and money you want to fork out where you'll be instructed by the Department Of Public Safety some locations have a gym or Martal Arts where you pay a small fee . You can also buy from a Police Supplier where nobody other than Security & Law Enforcement is allowed to shop at . Level 4 is a Body Guard. Security is a great occupation depending on how much time , effort and money you want to put into your career.
Fucking loser
@@tommyatkins2527 I've worked on the field during super bowl, was backstage with Katey perry, stage side of Taylor swift, worked in a vip section of Kevin Hart's stand up show what have you done?
I worked security for three years now i plan on working security in the hospitals wear your part of the inside company. Wear the pay is great and the benefits and you get the respect you deserve by the other hospital staff.
I wouldn’t suggest working for hospitals as a career. The risk doesn’t match the pay or even come close. Depending on where your hospital is you’ll be in fights nearly every night in the ER. A lot times wrestling with people that should be In jail. You’ll learn that no combination of words will calm someone bent on drugs. Most hospital Security departments are understaffed, unarmed and unarmored. You’ll be kicked, punched, spit on, puked on, sh*t on, pissed on, threatened, shot at, stalked all while being treated like dirt by the public, staff and especially the administration. A small few will ever appreciate what you do and the rest will always think you’re Paul Blart even if you pulled a meth-head off of them, took a punch for them or wrestled a blade or sharp object from some crazed nut(remember no taser no armor). Clinical staff will try to use you as a tool of revenge to get back at a rude or ornery patient/visiter. The staff and administrators don’t care if you get fired. Be smart and use common sense. Better to quit than put yourself in a situation where YOU could go to jail. Administration sees that you exist to mitigate risk and to save money on proper resources. You are acceptable turn-around. You are their Fall-Guy.
No-body will believe the stories you bring home. You’ll get to where you won’t even talk about it. I don’t care how Clint Eastwood you think you f**king are it will eventually take a toll on you. So if you go hospital security please only do it long enough to see if you want to take it further(law enforcement). Don’t wait too long for the system to break your spirit.
Good take-aways... You’ll learn a lot about yourself. You’ll learn how to talk to people in ways you thought you never could. It’s rewarding to be able to de-escalate situations that would normally go south. Learning that skill will help you immensely as a LEO. You’ll learn if you want to go LEO or you’ll learn to appreciate that sales job you had lol! If you’re good at hospital security then you’ll excel as law enforcement and don’t wait too long to make the move.
Good stepping stone. If you make a career out of it, join an in-house team, don’t waste away in a contract company. If you live where they allow you to work for multiple companies, then do a contract company and in-house. This way if it goes to a private company, there’s a possibility that you keep whatever seniority you have when a contract change occurs.
Working the job, is the easy part, it’s the accredited training companies’ clients promises and politics that destroy the industry.
Training - certifying people that are not competent or ready yet.
Companies - disorganised, unprofessional, delayed pay, neglecting staff, etc.
Clients - controlling, demanding, rude, manipulating, mistreating staff, unrealistic expectations, etc.
Promises - companies and individuals always making excuses and false promises no concern for the safety of the staff only that the client is happy and paying them regardless of the detriment to the staff.
Politics - the politics above are only the tip of the iceberg these is so much more corruption dishonesty and unprofessionalism in the industry.
but the most unfair gripe I have above all these things mentioned, is security personnel do not get any breaks on many sites even though it is a legal right.
THANKS FOR THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE AYE GREAT JOB FOR ME THEN CHEERS
Security officers should be given the power of arrest for unreasonable behaviour. And carry body cameras.also wear stab vests in public places of work.
Some guards have body cameras.
I've been a security officer for a long time its fun job sometimes its boring sometimes you work with idiots that think there top cop. Most times i work alone sometimes i get threaten i rarely call cops unless absolutely necessary.
Ruben Gonzales
Why it’s boring ?
@@2303mitt Because you're circling around like a moron doing nothing for 8\10\12 hours per day...
@@MsNick991 yup 🤣💯
I've been a Security Guard for 14 years wouldn't want to do anything else other than Law Enforcement.
Why would one want to work in an industry where your on call 24/7, your bosses treat you like garbage, paid minimum wage, you face verbal and physical abuse by members of the public, made to work 60-90 even 100 hours a week and threatened with sanctions if you refuse to work very long hours? Security guards are underpaid and undervalued
The Mad MGTOW it varies greatly from company to company its crazy how different, i have heard of very bad companies and so far the one im in is good, i feel the boss looks after me
You're right I just quit my company, they're even taking 4 days to pay me my last check. I lasted only a month too much bs
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE I WENT TO AYE COMPANY HERE IN AUCKLAND THEY WE NOT VERY HELPFUL AT ALL
Security guard is very important to protect life and property.
They didn't set a good example at our isolation facilities going to sleep on the job, those guards made you all look like muppets
Naw, that's what police do
Army soldiers should do this job instead of staying in their boot camps sleeping
@@deandre8432police officers don’t protect property or trespassing they only show up once the damage has been done you fool
Très bon documentaire sur la danse
I used to be a Security Guard myself thirty years ago. The salary is $17.80 per hour. I found another job at UPS as a Package Handler and a Trailer Loader and the salary is $ 24. 61 per hour. I'm a Driver now for the Company and I get paid more.
Also have to do a way harder job at ups..
@@fusiliers1 Probably you got FIRED from your last job and nothing much more to say but your stupid comment.
The money isnt that bad. Im on $32hr monday to friday plus weekend penalty rates (time and a half, double time). But being armed is a big pointer for me.. or at least having you baton amd cuffs. I work in australia as a FIFO security officer and i deal with pretty intense shifts. 1800hrs to 0600hrs. 4wks on 4 off. Every night we are stoned by large groups of people aged fom 13yrs to 30yrs of age. We often also deal with people using knives, machetes, steel bats/bars etc etc including tazors. Its not for the faint hearted but if you work well as a team and have the balls the experience itself pays off. You wont meet many security guards in the city that have worked a security job like this in Australia. Im writting this from work at this very moment. Its 4:33am. Im on duty in a school inside a compound and im currently watching a large number of aboriginal people trying to kill each other on the street outside 🤨 most likely caused by illigal alchol. One of many places i work. Others include dock security for ships on the coast while they unload there cargo. Theres many security jobs out there and they can all be rewarding, even the high risk ones. Its all experience🤙🏽
MrOfficerSir TJ hello I will be applying for unarmed security soon however my goal is border services, my concern is that I’ll get into security work a couple of months and they won’t like me and fire/let me go. How often does that happen or do you have to be a pretty bad guard?
Stay safe out there!
Hi I have just started with becoming security guard but how can I climb the ladders to become security officer ?
@@itoakihiro1868 bro hw was the security Exam is it difficult?
@@riyoitv5365 they ask about your experience and after passing they send me to course for x Ray and stuff. The exam was not difficult
Been in a security officer in MBS casino for 5 years now and boy you get to see funny shit
Of course you do bunch of drunk idiot's fighting each other that can barely stand upright.
Security Guard isn't a career. Just a stepping stone to become a bigger law enforcement such as police, border services etc. Don't expect to be happy financially working security guard.
There's alot of people that only work as security guards
Blackbear1986 i make over 3k a month as a security guard because in on call and I’m full time. Most importantly it depends on where you work. I’m living very comfortable
@@AllTingzBlac you get paid more in worse areas
@@clonecommanderbly7408 security really only needs to be in "bad areas".
I'm makeing $14 an hour close to $2k every 2 weeks while everyone calls me an asshole because i can't stop laughing at there dumbass for busting there ass while there employer treats them like shit and they don't make but about $600 every 2 weeks at Kroger working for $8.50 an hour than i have this dumbass who wants to tell me Security isn't a financial career field. I hope you ain't working at McDonald's kid 😂. You better take that college degree if they offer it to you .
Good vidéo
Good at communicating hahahaha!!
In South Africa an unarmed security gaurd is no good,if they're not armed then they have to at least have a baton and pepper spray and an armed responder on stand by.
Yeah that's why ya just say its all good bro I didn't see shit lol and get ya car and drive away
Yeah I’m in Florida and I would never work unarmed. You get paid less and if somebody really wants to hurt you you don’t have a force multiplier to defend yourself
Pas ouf y a pas de sous titre
The most underappreciated career...
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.
In California there are a lot of security guards that don't even speak English now I wonder how did they ever get there guard card
Because Spanish is a pretty common language spoken in the United States of America behind English.
I love you zebi 😘
I wanna be a security guard
Loser hahahaha

Hi I'm Lenin from UAE... Working as a security guard in ministerial offices ... I would like to move on to abroad countries... Please suggest me possible ways to work there... Thank you
In london the on street enforcement officers take my identification for litter offence ,I get issued the fine £150 !
In the field 10+ years, it dont pay enough for jack shyt
Are they allowed to Make citizens arrests at all or not at all?
No matter how well you do your job you still get shitted on by your employer on payday most companies cheat you so keep an eye on check
Not all Security Companies are a shithole to work for I've been with some really good ones than I've been with some really bad ones . How you figure it out seince I've been a Security Guard for 14 years if they don't offer you $12 an hour or better than there's something wrong with that company expecialy when you're makeing $8.50 , $10.50 I'm making $15 an hour doing the exact same shit your doing that should be enough to tell you something's wrong if they don't offer you $12 or $14 an hour don't take the job . The reason for that is they don't have enough contracts there ate the fuck up a good company always pays more and takes care of there employees. You treat us like that we love you we're happy the employer and the client's are satisfied. You give me some bullshit wage like $8.50 an hour than I'm having to pull at least 2 doubles per week 16 hours and you want to give me some lame ass excuse why your dumbass guard can't show up to relieve me he's a no call no show i quite I'm walking off the job. You won't even get a 2 weeks notice there's your sign fuck me fuck you there's always a better employer out there to work with.
Question can one security company check on another security company...?
Of course i've worked several job sights under 3 security companies .
How to apply, 11years here in UAE as a security guard for a royal family.
Do your work with your sia badge ?
Do ya have to have ya manual license i only got Auto?
They're different licenses in Australia?? That makes sense, manuals are actually pretty hard to drive without practice.
I am interested
Wish I did security :(
What is age limit or retiree age for security guard?
There is no age cut off for Security as long as you're physically fit and you can do your job.
@@Texasmilitarydepartmentvid9654 physically fit? I have seen lot of people that can barely walk do security.

but is not a easy job!
thats why most dont last

I was going to be a security guard but I decided to finish High School instead.
And become a bin man.
lmao now you have a diploma. are you gonna eat it?
I finished high school and I'm a security guard, some people just aren't made for it, just like the military, some people make it some don't
Security is just a low skilled job. Certainly nothing to be boasting about. I never tell anyone I am a security guard when asked because I feel embarrassed. But that's probably because I do corporate where theres lots of rich folk that look down on us like worthless crap
JB if you look crap i look worse then I’m like shit I’m a janitor 😕 and working hard to be at least a security guard I live by my own
Dk Muslera I cant even speak English properly and I’m considered best guard according to my company, and honestly being security guard is suk, and I don’t recommend anyone to become guard.
Lmao 😂 y'all just ended up with a shithole company to work for i flat out love my Security Job.
THANKS FOR THAT I WAS THINKING OF DOING AYE JOB HERE IN AUCKLAND
In most areas of the world to be a security guard one must be a high school drop out. These jobs are for people that refuse to learn and can't make a rational decision. If you can read or write this may not be the job for you.
cash storeone Hmm, I’m former military, have a masters degree and make over $90K a year as a security officer in Florida.
Some times people like to learn other stuff that has nothing to do with making a living, I like security because its gives me a lot of free time that making me learn about a lot of different subjects, and I think learning one think just to make a living is a waste of time
I'd argue; for someone young like me, it's a great job to really blossom and grow my professional life and transition into what I hope to get into (law enforcement). It's a great way to learn about how to deal with people and certain situations that may arise and gather some connections for professional growth and development. Not to mention, it helped me a lot through college with a decent wage and an easygoing schedule to work days I had off. It's actually also a great job to write reports when needed to further improve on writing (which is crucial for law enforcement officers) and on rare occasions, one of those reports might need to go to court, you may never know.
Often, people think security guards are uneducated, but I myself work security, and I've went to school for not only a diploma program, but an advanced program as well. There are more security jobs too within the industry with top notch pay. A lot of the security guards I worked with were either retired and still looking for more work or young and going to school for career advancement, just like me.
cash storeone I make over 40k a year lol funny that you think that way. I finished high school and currently in college.
@@Cyb3rCl3ric Why would a person with a masters degree be a security guard? You only make 90k a year as well. Does not sound very smart to me. Was your masters degree in recreation?
