Posted lastnight but couldn't get some decent feedback
>Experienced in banking/finance Industry/ debt collection/ accounts >Specialised in security >Dropped out of social work due to losing interest >Currently working in security fulltime since start of this year >100k a year
So basically don't know whether I should study to specialise in the finance industry (due to yuppie prestige) or even further in security.
The next qualification would steer me towards a security consultant or security risk analyst.
Post again tomorrow and maybe I'll feel like giving advice

How do you start in security ? Does it take a degree or something ? Currently in communications for a state agency and this job just feels like camouflaged welfare
Connor Martin
>experienced in banking >still manage to lose interest
depends what you want. finance you're in an enormous pool of other cunts with most trying to progress. Security seems like it would have a lesser pool of cunts trying to progress, so if you're good it'll be easier to score better positions and make more coin. that is if you want to progress and I say 'seems' cos I know fuckall about security. Finance also seems like it would be boring as fuck, spreadsheets non-stop.

So in a nutshell >Finance: looking at accounts, customer interaction, emails, spread sheet, data, trends, matching, investigating
>Security: observe, report, collect evidence, fire and safety, deal with social issues at times
If I do the next qual in security I can be a consultant, do risks assessments....my mate continues to tell me to go back to banking or try investigative services because "security is a BS career's yet I eat double what he earns in a bank. My job is cruisy as. What do you think?

Nope a level 2 certificate, this is in Australia. Then I got a level 3 which fire arms, executive protection, and a level 4 is security risk analysis. Basically a certificate IV in security risk analysis

What to you do in the role and why does it feel like camoflauged welfare?

The world isn't getting any safer. The trend of niggers running free looting stores is spreading to England and we'll probably see it in other countries as well like France. I'm from Sweden. Do I have to say more? Shootings (plural) are now basically daily occurrences. Mostly criminals killing each other so no one cares. Once there is s state of lawlessness and people know they can get away with things, it's hard to go back, unless authorities takes of the gloves and deal with it. Is that going to happen with all leftwing cunts in power?
Digital security is a growing trend and will only become bigger with digitalized society and industries. Maybe that's too different from your type of security though.
The world economy is rather shaky and we'll probably go into recession or worse. What finance jobs are safe in the coming years?
Aiden Turner
Wow you make a good point. I love how've you have outlined the increase for security both digitally and physically due to the bad situation the word is in.
you're probably right, there's always been money in security, 100k per annum and that still giving me 2 days off a week.
So you think continue with security as opposed to pursuing my dream of being a modern day yuppie/financiers?

There are accredited "security academies" now that train you to be a mercenary. Offer financing and student loans, the whole nine yards. You don't have to get he vaxx to play soldier anymore.
Benjamin Hill
I'm debating whether to do mercenary school or cyber security. I'm basing my decision on how fucked the economy is going to be.
Ian Taylor
Because I do fuck all, my role is to make sure the internal information goes smoothly whether it’s top down or down top. But I don’t do a lot of work and get paid 35k€ so it’s like a fake job

>So you think continue with security as opposed to pursuing my dream of being a modern day yuppie/financiers? Do what you're good at and/or passionate about. Sounds like you have an ideal image of a finance yuppie that may or may not be true.
Unless you have years of special operations or other military specialist experience you're going to be very low on the totem pole in the PMC world.

>you're going to be very low on the totem pole in the PMC world.
So what? It's like any job, you get experience and build a reputation through out your career. The way I see it, I can join the military and get the vaxx and 6 months of bootcamp, or I can go to the academy, get 2-4 years of training in every facet of combat, not have to take the vaxx, graduate, do a few entry level roles, and move up to the good stuff. The only difference from any other career is you can die doing this stuff.

This is only slightly related, but I don't understand modern war. What I mean is that the war in Ukraine is a social media war, with people live streaming their fighting on reddit and other places and posting videos bragging about their fights. I've seen 3 major stories of battalions of troops getting blown up by artillery because they posted their location on social media while fighting. The ultra retarded nature of social media war has me confused. Soldiers are fighting with their faces exposed as if the hundreds of millions of viewers and world NGOs and governments aren't taking the records and processing them through facial recognition to stalk the soldiers for the rest of their lives after the war ends. Very soon automated systems will be built which auto doxx soldiers whose faces are posted to social media and stream lines the stalking process for future actions.
It's not the same world it was before the internet. And watching this sub standard adaption to new technological realities makes me feel insecure about participating in the security industry.

On the other hand, I think the global economy is about to collapse, and the deterrence offered from being hooked up with a military organization might be preferential to simply living through a global depression as a civilian.
Camden Cook
Your competition is a large pool of veterans from around the world with combat experience and some PMC's aren't even going to be considering you unless you are ex-special ops. But you can always try. You should ask /k/ though.
Nathan Walker
My six-figure hell NEET life has become pretty boring and I can already see the mid-life crisis looming on the horizon. Where can i find a private academy that teaches me how to become a chad like James Bond? I don't intend to actually work in that field, all i want is to feel self-confident and alive again.
