Hello All,
I just came into the security biz, mostly as a 2nd job. I live in Orange County, CA and the classifieds show work is plentiful here. Saw a few starting salaries, and there was a vast difference in between the "No Guard Card Necessary, We'll Train You!" and "Must Have Guard Card"'s pay.
I didn't want to hear "no security experience and no guard card... Huh... how's $8.00/hr sound?". I decided to pay for my own training with firearm, OC, First Aid/CPR certs (in for about $700).
Seems to have paid off. I haven't even been approved by the state (it's only taken them 3+ weeks so far!) and I've had 2 offers already! Best is Patrol One, who offered $14/hr for Rover with lots of OT available.
Let you all know how that works out.
I've been hovering around here for a little while, and a lot of good info flowing around! I'll see you all in the forums!
And If (or should I say when) I offend, let me apologize now.
