Ever wonder if security jobs are dangerous? We've seen it all and are willing to tell you a little bit more about this often overlooked career path.
Security officers often work in remote locations, late at night, and in situations that can turn volatile in a hurry. There are long periods of utter boredom punctuated by extreme excitement. An officer has to keep their head in the game or things can turn ugly fast. Theft, physical harm, or worse can happen in a hurry.
It isn't easy manning a post alone late at night. It isn't easy remaining alert when nothing has happened for months on end. And it definitely isn't easy dealing with conflict with strangers that you don't know how they will behave!
Give the guy standing in the corner a little respect. His job is harder than you realize.
