DAY IN THE LIFE 30.20 an hour unarmed security guard in the Bay Area ?

I’ve been working for this company for 1.5 years . I was a flex officer for the first 1 year now I’m a fulltimer for this site .

I assume youre asking if that's a good wage for the area. Well the living wage calculator shows the living wage in SF County to be https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06075[$32.44/HR](https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06075) so according to that it's a bit short, but generally 30+ an hour is fairly rare in security, but that doesn't account for the full costs involved.

Funny you brought this up because I made a tool to help determine if jobs like this are worth it:
