Technically, I am retired law enforcement with a degree in computer science working as a security guard at a government building dealing mainly with people who do not have jobs, and probably WOULD have jobs if they weren't so damned stupid.


I smell Social Security Office lol.

I know because after I got out of the academy 16 years ago I was working part time for a small town's police department and full time for a security company that had a federal government (General Services Administration) contract. Worked at the various building including the DEA office, the Border Patrol office, and so forth. Some people didn't understand when i told them I graduated from an academy but was working security, they didn't understand that Federal security jobs pay way better than your average mall cop gig lol.

Would grab overtime when I could and one of those OT gigs was at a Social Security Administration office. OMG it was so Ghetto in that lobby it wasn't even funny lol. The places I worked weren't that bad, but when i finally got on full time with a police department, I ran as fast as I could lol.

Some of your post reminded me a little of myself. Strangely I wasn't too surprised lol

I work court security and also have a second job in corrections as a guard at a prison psych-hospital.

Until recently I spent my spare time as an army reservist, and also worked online for a German gaming company as a board admin for one of their communities.

I was once offered a job as a guide/Japanese interpreter/deck hand on my friend's sport fishing boat in Guam. Here's the lifestyle: During the day you take Japanese tourists out saltwater trolling and/or dolphin sighting. Make sashimi for everybody out of one of the small tuna you catch. Sell the rest of the fish at the wholesale market, except one. That one you take to the beach bar. Put it on the grill outside, sit inside in the air conditioning, drink cold ones, b.s. with the regulars until your huge, fresh fish is nicely cooked.

If you're a rogue type, then you go to the disco or the tourist area and pick up hot Japanese tourist girls (not very hard to do at all). On full moon nights when the fish are active, go out to the deep water, bottom fish, look at the stars and think deep thoughts, sleep on the boat. Sell your catch for good dollars.

But I made one of those stupid decisions that change your life forever. Turned that job down and ended up as an immigration attorney in New York City instead. Ugh


Talk about knowing where you made the wrong turn in life! :)

Well, I spent 10 years in the US Army, 7 of those years as an Infantryman. After that I was a Security professional, until I received a 100% disability rating from the Veterans Affairs and now, at 37, I am fully retired.

Law student, but I have a couple trimesters off working in biz relations for a manufacturing company. My current job gives me access to a CNC, a circuit board printer, and a 3d printer so I spend my out of work time prototyping prosthetics ideas with a programmer friend of mine. He thinks I'm weird for talking about EVE as much as I do..
