subject: Security Jobs at a Glance [print this page] Most security jobs are sought by people who need a flexible work schedule or a second job. Although the level of stress at work is usually low, some jobs can be hazardous at times. Theft is perhaps the most common crime that security guards will handle. Additionally, youths who are learning who they are by experimenting with violent behavior may also pose a threat to guards. Yet, as organizations spend more on their safety measures, the BLS expects that the number of jobs in security will rise in the coming years.
