i want to wish you luck in what ever you decide

 

Yeah looks like u have it planed out...but dont go buying things and then get youurself caught in a tight postion....spend your money wisely..but Good luck aagain...Sounds like a wwelll thought out plan...

 

Not calling you a liar by any means, but I find it really hard to believe that a "Security Manager" can make 6 figures. What else would the job entail? Because if sitting around and breaking up an occasional fight can bring in that kind of dough, I'm going home to hit the weights right now.

 

Good luck with your decision. If it were me, I would jump at the chance to make 6 figures. And even if I didn't like the job, I can save up some money while working there and start a business or do something else down the line.

Whichever you choose, GOOD LUCK and congrats!

 

I'd stay where you are at, bars get old and people stop going to them there for could have reason to shutdown. You gotta kinda think where the job security is at and we allways need cops

 

Im Security-Events Manager I guess you wouldnt know that the average bouncer makes 25 an hour. Add in the fact that I will have a staff of roughly 8-10 bouncers per bar (remember Im going to the be the manager of 3 seperate bars). Im overseeing Live Entertainment, promotions, and Im going to be assisting the General Manager in manging the wait staff.

I wont be breaking up any fights Im a manager meaning when i work im overseeing the bouncers, the wait staff, the band, the Captain Morgan promotion girl, and making sure everything goes as it should. and there isnt an occasional fight. At these bars this guy owns there is on average 3 "scuffles" a night. Not to mention the frequent sketchy guy feeling up on some girl he shouldnt.

Other job responsibilites include booking bands, going to other bars and seeing the live entertainment they bring in, and how many people these bands bring in. having the Boston PD on speed dial for all these kids who start fights and making sure I get names and LKA of every kid who strated a fight. Interviewing constantly for the constant shuffle of waiters and bouncers, because someone is always "no callin, no showin" and bouncers are always letting the good looking underage girls in. Booking promotional people from various companies, ordering beer and alcohol and whenever the General Manager needs ANYTHING guess who he calls? ME.

The whole plan with doing 3 bars is going to have to be get a dozen or so bands and have them rotate to each bar, so people arent hearing the same sh tty music every night of the week. Trying to find 12 RELIABLE bands, where the kids in them actually WANT TO PLAY, and not just drink and pick up chicks and sound like SH T is a hard thing to do. lol

Sure a security/events manager working at one bar isnt going to make too much money (average is about 40k a year) but Im going to be managing 3 bars at once....not an easy task. and my salary isnt much over 6 figures. its 110k a year. The biggest reason why im getting paid this much is the guy who runs these bars knows, i know what im doing. I have been working as a Security Manager for the past 3 years at 2 of the biggest bars on Cape Cod at a very young age. He knows he is getting someone who has a lot of years ahead of him and is willing to work hard.

EDIT* Did I mention the bartenders? lol Yah do you realize how many bartenders steal money, alcohol, and do a whole bunch of other scams. They are hard to catch. If I didnt like the responsibility and the challenge of doing this I would NEVER do it.

 

Very true, not to mention I will have an incredible retirement plan If I stay as a Sheriffs Officer. I can retire at the age of 44 and collect my pention for the rest of my life.

 

Exactly.

 

Thanks for calrifying, it makes a lot more sense now. Like I said I wasn't trying to be an ***, just sounded a bit nutty.


..oh yeah, and around here $25 an hour for a bouncer is unheard of. I used to bartend for a little while, and have a few friends who are bouncers. They don't make anywhere near that

 

I would say take the job that you would rather be doing, don't just do it for the money. Don't forget about job security too.
