🧠 These people are STUPID!
Wow a lot of similarities, I'm almost 67, returned to US and work. I'm happily married to second wife no kids. Possibly sterile from fetal alcohol syndrome or the weed smoking I self-medicated my childhood trauma away with. I too worked a verity of jobs.
I have a solution to your economic concerns. In the USA in many cities and states the security industry pays decent. I make 18 bucks an hour in an office building. I have a lot of free time because I work nights, I have computer access so I watch documentaries and go on GAW, I also practice vocals. Financials and trolling evil is from home... Dayshift is more concierge activity... Just make sure building is locked up tight on night shift and it's very safe!
They have trouble keeping good people, most security has little to know benefits. They hire anyone who can get a security license. NO DEI BS they like old white men, we show up on time and rarely call off...I have insurance threw wife and can take vacation with no-pay. Working OT boosts pay a lot. Over 40 hours is 1.5 rate. Since its almost like living room its not hard to work a lot of hours.
That sounds fine to me...👍😎
More jobs will increase opportunities and wages so WIN- WIN for you and hopefully Purkiss.
I'm hoping to re-retire by end of year and live abroad singing for expats for the winters... If I need to when in the USA I can work during the warm season.
Best of luck.
The security industry is terrible. I'm driving myself insane applying to jobs trying to get out.
I was injured in a factory accident years ago and got into security while attending school. Where else could I get paid to do homework? Purkiss is a senior and it is a great way to earn money as a senior or a stepping stone while in school. Its an easy job and easy to get, but not a career. In my case I gave too many disability issues to learn a new skill. If Purkiss was younger I'd suggest something else.
There are jobs that pay near the same pay and require no traing except on the job.
In Tn the security class is 4 hours online, then a photo and fingerprints and your employed. Half of my security jobs I was hired walking through the door before paperwork... I made 40K last year and 48k the year before while spending 80% of my time online, practicing singing, and exercising. If I had the desire U couls actually do side gig work on-post...
It's not always easy. I had a job as a fire and life safety director in a hotel. Along with that, I also did packages (mail/letters were usually addressed to hotel staff) and lost and found. There were only two of us per shift, sometimes just one because the retards that owned the company had no clue what they were doing. We also had to do lock interrogation, and take pictures and write incident reports if the cleaning staff found evidence of smoking or someone trashed the room.
The company can make or break the experience, the site can make or break the experience, a supervisor/director of security can make or break the experience, colleagues can make or break the experience, building management, tenants/companies at the site, the people that come in, many, many things can make it either tolerable, or give you a stress heart attack. I'm only 39 but putting an insane amount of stress on myself trying to leave. I'm a long way away from retirement, that's what I need to think about.
Yes, I worked In-House as security for 2 years at a Franchise Hilton (no benefits), and 7 years In-House for a Radisson that lost it's flag 3 years in. The owners had great benefit and pay package, that's why I stayed
In-House security benefits not much OT, Contract Security plenty of OT, no benefits.
