Here's my dillema outside of current job which is usually M-F 9-5:
I'm trained in security- both physical, personal, and protective- from the US Army. But... whenever I talk to a security company they want to start me at unarmed (no way, no how), low pay ($8.50/hr) and usually shit hours in a shit location. I think I've earned better, no I'm not a liberal asking for shit, just saying my training has, I believe, garnered me a better security position than some entry level bullshit.
I'm even thinking about talking to Jeffco SO and asking what prerequisites I need from a legal standpoint to start my own freelance security biz (kinda like executive security- taxi with a gun). Any help from you guys would be appreciated, I can't afford groceries this week due to unforeseen circumstances.
have you applied with HSS? just wondering because thats where i started out here when i first moved here.. they started me at an officer/part time supervisor position with a taser or i could work at denver health as an officer and would be carrying a gun....just wondering if you applied with them because im pretty sure they start out at higher than you were saying... cant remember what it was... but with the part time supervisor/officer position i took and with all the overtime i was getting i was making almost what i make now... which is pretty good money....

so look into that.. other than that i am not sure! and sorry to hear you are in bad times but dont give up! and keep your head up! wish you the best!
