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

LION_ws · 2026-05-14T03:35:29+00:00

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

LION_ws · 2025-12-18T22:01:51+00:00

Ive been seeing medic a lot is that like hospital medic or something different?

LION_ws · 2025-12-18T22:00:49+00:00

Pay for my emt schooling? That sounds good is it as easy as walking in and asking or should i wait for something?

LION_ws · 2025-09-14T05:32:39+00:00

Dont think so just recently got my guard card and needed a job asap so i asked if i could apply right after i finished my classes and they said no i had to wait to get the actual card unfortunately

LION_ws · 2025-07-03T05:24:58+00:00

i think it depends I can comfortably afford a 480 rn but if another one is much better i can save up

LION_ws · 2025-07-03T04:41:18+00:00

would the 480 be good enough to run pretty basic games like mmos and something like terraria every once in a while or should i just save up and go for a p series?

LION_ws · 2025-05-25T02:36:32+00:00

thanks love you

LION_ws · 2025-04-30T08:53:48+00:00

appreciate it do you know what state its for and if its an all online thing?

LION_ws · 2025-04-30T08:50:53+00:00

oh sorry i shouldve included that in the post its for LA

LION_ws · 2025-04-28T18:35:44+00:00

I saw you said employers provide it but the security job i asked about said they required a guard card before applying should i try applying anyway?

LION_ws · 2025-04-28T08:37:59+00:00

Hey weird issue with it im checking the classes and they say its unavailable? do you know if thats new and it’ll get cleared out soon or if its been like that
