Well gents I bit the bullet, commuting 1hr 50min each way, took over managing security for #14 Wall St. , directly across the street from the Stock Exchange. 36 floors, 3500 approx employees, 3-5 thousand visitors a day.
The company is using this site for me to get my feet wet manging in their system as they are about to take over security for a much larger, 3X larger complex and want me to handle it. Should be in about two months.
Major reason for me excepting this position is the certifications I will be getting which will make me a more valuable commodity in the private security field plus the resume builder of managing #14 Wall St.
So hunting and fishing will be way back burner stuff for awhile, damn, day starts at 5:15 and I get home around 7:15pm.
Money is not great for this first assignment, but will be much better in a few months. Got to prove myself. Anyhow if they can;t deliver on their promises I will tell them to take care and comb their hair and take the training and cert's to another job.

Be careful that age, planned life securities and job improvements don't take place over hunting, fishing, family and the V. Easy to do.
Sounds like you got it under control. Good luck!!

understand guys, I have taken enough time, need to earn now, one in college senior year and one starting next year. Two to follow every two years.
Plus my nephew on Wall St. has started an extrordinary corporation and it looks like he will want Uncle Bill to run security for him in a foreign land and it should pay extremely well. I want to bring some good experience and training along with all the certs to the table for him. Can't talk about it now but it looks like his concepts will be taking off with a 6star hotel and and 1100 multi million dollar residences sometime in the spring.
if it happens and it looks now like it certainaly will I will be doing a lot of international travel for him.
So bite the bullet now and hopefully pay off later, thats the plan.
