There seems to be a lot of armed security jobs in Northern NJ, mainly Newark and Jersey City area. For armed security, I think they do a pretty thorough background check so I got a clean record, good credit, good job history and I am thinking about investing time and money on getting all the required certificates, including gun training.
Would I be able to land a decent position after all that effort even though I have no military or police exp?
If I move to NY later on, would I have to take all the courses again?
I'm in mid 20's, attending college and this will probably be a temporary thing for a couple of years until I'm done with school and perhaps become a police officer.
From what I see, many armed positions make at least 18/hr and many of them don't say that they require law enforcement or military exp, as long as you have all the licenses and certificates.
If anyone got some additional info about all this or where I could take the classes, that'd be useful. I see a lot of places, but can't tell if they are legit.
