I have been working in the security industry for 4 years now and have decided its time to look for a new job. I didn't mind doing security work when I started. Working nights, I enjoyed that when I started. After 4 years of being screwed around by the boss, working an average of 32-40 hours a week and being kept as casual, no 12 hour turn around in between shifts etc its time to move on. Most of the time I start work at 2000 and finish at 0530 and then sleep all day, get up and start all over again. Even on my days off I can't go to bed untill after 0400, I can't remember the last time I went to bed before midnight. My body clock is seriously screwed at the moment.
So now I have decided to try and get into an apprenticeship and learn a trade and gain usefull skills. Not really fussed as to what kind of apprenticeship, just as long as I can start using my brain again. No offence to all the other security guards out there, but it really is a job for those that don't want a real job and like to act all tough as "bouncers"
Well thats my rant for they day, had to get it out of the system.
