Now before you guys start shooting poisoned arrows at me, hear me out. I saw this ad in Craigslist for security officers at Securitas. They are specifically looking for people with previous law enforcement, military police or investigative experience. If you are going to be furloughed anyway, it would be easy to transition into the Tub Stackers Association first, then get the necessary investigative experience to apply at Securitas. The pay is about what a regional pays and the work is not nearly as difficult. I used to have clients who worked here or at similar places. They all tried to encourage me (!) to apply because the work was relatively easy and mindless. I told them I have enough trouble keeping my own job as it is, but thanks anyway.

Something to consider?

No, not something to consider. I'd rather be a garbage man than work for the Thousand Standing Around. I despise them and all of their ineptitude. They make my skin crawl every time I go through their so called security line. CREW PASS NOW!!!!!!

The TSA is a nice launching point for other federal positions.

There are literally thousands of federal jobs of varying quality.

...and there's job security.

Look through USA jobs (online) and take a look.
