Hi Geoff, Private Security. It requires a state license. I've been doing it for 20 years - all through pre-med, while I was in med school, while I was practicing and now that I am "retired". The burger flippers get $6.55, but they don't have to be able to speak English and don't have to have a license. They are *supposed* to have green cards buy you know damn well . . . Also, they don't have to actually flip the burgers, just put them in a device that heats them up, looks like some kind of oven. > Our PHB is floating the idea of everyone giving up $1 per hour so he can > reduce the bid on the contract renewal.
