rent a cop as well
I can also pitch in for security.
For me the schedule, ability to study on job made it attractive and I was not able to get back in the office anyways with the flight-training schedule I had. But I can't wait to get out of it finally. It gets old that everyone treats you as the lowest dirt. Also, you will meet the dumbest and laziest persons among your colleagues, who will sometimes be your supervisors.
The good part:
It is a job that everyone can get anywhere in the country and everyone is qualified. You can work all three shifts so you can adjust your work to your day flying. Part-timers are always welcome.
Right in this moment I am getting $10/h, limited dental, full healthcare, 2 weeks paid off, and 5 days sick pay to watch a monitor and type this message. (Most security companies offer less and no benefits though.) All the studying that I had to do from commercial to CFII was done while I got paid for it and I am not even ripping them off. Before I got hired I told them right away that I would like to end up at a post where it is possible to study, and they gave me one. It is a pretty common job for students.
At some places you can do it armed and get like $12-14/h for doing nothing still. Of course I would not do it in FLL port, or in a jewelry store, or in a Publix in North Miami. However at a reception desk of a closed office building after hours... nothing dangerous about that.
So if you have no trade that you can put into work in the afternoons than this is pretty easy money as long you stay away from community gates ‘cause those will drive you nuts. I am just about to start CFIing so I will have to see how it will work out with that, but for now I am planning to keep it for the weekends… helps paying the friggin training induced ccard debt back.
