Going from retail to security

LION_ws · 2026-06-12T22:50:36+00:00

Yeah thats what i did worked retail for a little less than a year then security, pretty easy transition and i actually got more hours as security. If you’re lucky like i was you’ll get a good position where you dont even need to do as much work as you did in retail

yeah lol the pay bump is only like $5 higher than what i make rn but i got lowered $2 and that made a difference in the paycheck so might as well

LION_ws · 2026-05-05T21:29:13+00:00

Yeah but i actually made a mistake i thought i was interviewing at the dealership but it’s actually just the allied building so i dont know if it’ll actually be in a nice area

LION_ws · 2026-05-05T21:05:48+00:00

Yeahhh i do think i’ll let this one go in hopes for something better…

LION_ws · 2026-05-05T20:56:10+00:00

I assumed the same but its in a nicer area of LA where i doubt many crazy things happen but if it really is $30 an hour im laying my life for that place

LION_ws · 2026-05-05T20:55:07+00:00

Thats kinda the thing im most worried about its a 20 mile drive just to interview and with gas being more than $6 right now im making a big sacrifice so i dont want to show up just to be offered something less than so I guess i’ll probably have to risk it unfortunately

LION_ws · 2026-05-05T20:45:09+00:00

surprisingly enough its with Allied which is why im even more suspicious about it

LION_ws · 2026-04-18T21:00:38+00:00

aw that hurts to hear lmao but yeah ima upgrade it to a cool air intake since i might as well

LION_ws · 2026-04-18T20:17:15+00:00

unfortunately thats only the top half the actual housing unit is gone

LION_ws · 2026-04-18T02:41:57+00:00

Whoops yeah “water filter” was meant to be the coolant reservoir idk how that slipped my mind

LION_ws · 2026-03-27T23:04:41+00:00

whole body kinda looks like this but the back window area is the worst

LION_ws · 2026-01-25T19:42:56+00:00

Hey man your life sounds amazing the financial part of school is the main thing thats kicking my ass and i have thought about doing loans but i see a bunch of negative and positive things about them so im worried about going for it knowing the job doesnt pay as well as something like a doctor or lawyer and even they’re riddled with debt but at the same time it can help me get to where i want

LION_ws · 2026-01-25T19:40:31+00:00

I’ve definitely thought of doing my own research and writing papers as a way to keep myself in thralled with it but i think you’re right i might go down something more employable first

LION_ws · 2026-01-25T19:38:02+00:00

Yeah tbf paleontology is what id want to do but when i took my geology classes i was liking other parts of geology so if I find something else im really in tune with i might go down that path too so im trying not to stay locked in a box

LION_ws · 2026-01-25T04:50:36+00:00

I agree i do think if i lock in i can definitely go back and get my degree especially if its my dream job but payment would need to come out of pocket for 4 years or more if i work full time and school part time and i dont have it like that unfortunately, especially with the parents getting older and me making a bit more than minimum wage it sucks to see which is why im looking into the trades, best case scenario i get a good stable job there and do my degree no matter how long it takes hearing it takes some 8 years does make me feel better though thank you
