Being a security guard can be a fulfilling job for the right kind of person. It can be very flexible and in many instances one can work part-time.  

Although there can be a low barrier to entry, being entrusted with the safety of others is of utmost importance to this career. 

Whether you're in a retail environment, corporate or residential, doing loss prevention (just looking for people who are shoplifting), or doing executive protection as a body guard, being in the security industry involves using a lot of common sense. If you already know how to show up to work on time and be respectful of your colleagues, this job might be right for you. 

The competition can also be intense so it's important to supplement your skillset.

Short, fat poor and brown. That’s how Dylan Ali thought of himself as a kind but he made a vow to himself to not stay that way. He pursued a nursing degree in college and aced his first semester. His second semester made him realize that he wasn’t cut out for college. Listen in as he tells Jonaed about how he dropped out, became a prison guard before becoming a sales executive that generates millions for the tech giant, HP.

JeVon was a mixed kid that grew up in the 70s. He said the Black kids didn't like him because he was White and the White kids didn't like him because he was Black. He endured abuse and struggled academically. He faced homelessness while going to high school and barely graduated. He scrubbed toilets and waited tables. This story is a MUST listen.

He didn't have the option to go to college but he outworked those that were "supposed" to do better than him. Listen in as he tells Jonaed his success story.
