Security from 18-30. I mostly sat at a desk, in a shack, eating ramen noodles and playing on my phone. My main job was to be there on site for the insurance discount the company got. The few times I did actual work was mainly when someone got drunk and I had to call them a taxi, or if someone was injured, as most security guards are also CPR/AED, first aid trained. That’s it.
Honestly, not really, depending on the post. You’re looking for single guard posts, night shift, gate access, unarmed. Those keywords on a post generally mean you’ll be sitting on your ass doing nothing all night, and maybe once every other hour you walk the perimeter and then write down that nothing happened.

That was my dream job for a long time. I bet modern security jobs monitor you enough to ruin the magic of not doing shit.
