    Armed guards make more than 13, about 15-20 the least. All depends on experience.

    I would recommend do not post resumes on-line. Look for a job is a security firm, they are always hiring. Armored car security is one of the best ones in the field. But if you like action go for like national guard security.

    Do not go into small business that is the most boring one.

    You can go a try to become college security, that is another good one.

    It all depends on how much action you want to see.

    They don't propose, they blame video games and music videos. I don't think we need to inject race into this, the problem of arming the nation speaks for itself, we are all expected to engage in a firefight at a moments notice 'for protection'. I went to school a long time ago, in a city most consider violent, and we didn't have guards, sign-ins, police protection, we did have nearly seven thousand students of all colors and backgrounds. Our school was open from seven in the morning to eight at night, with people there all the time, it was five stories tall in one building, and four in the other, when I hear about putting an armed guard in I can only laugh, you could have had forty people armed and no one would stand a chance. I know most schools don't have that many people or that much space, but its a false sense of security to say if we put in an armed guard that will take care of the problem. As to other schools having them and not getting mass murderers,....well lets just say that its not common, its rare, and the chance of having such an incident is very slight. That's like saying those schools also haven't had a tornado since they had a armed guard posted. Its pretty much irrelevant.
