That's becouse the government pays cops. They're cheap. The people that pay Spider, are NOT the government. The owner of a buisiness pays it's security gaurds. A computer warehouse, is obviously a good business, there for the owner has a lot of money. It's a good idea to invest some of the money in protecting your business.

why would you pay a kid 200k, when you could pay just about any unskilled worker, 30k or less to do the same job and be happy with it?

A friend of mine used to work at a Mental hospital. He was 18, a friend got him the job. If he would have kept that job he would've had 150k a year. At a mental hospital! Hardly any threat at all! But it was night shift, he had to quit becouse of school, and he was about to go join the military anyway. A lot of computers can be worth a lot of money. I'd say onj average, 2k per PC. If some guys brought in a truck the size of a U-Haul, they could get away with a lot of valued hard ware. If there was no security gaurd, this could happen often. Like I said, the owner pays him not the government so he can pay him as much as he sees fit.

Guys, I think the 200k is in Canadian dollars, that's like 95k here, right? I forgot the exchange rates.

actually, if you work at mcdonalds for a few years, then they'll pay for your entire college tuition, and if you stay on for a few more years as a manager or co-manager, they'll buy you any under-$60,000 dollar car that you want. then you just keep going up the corporate ladder. (s'what me friend told me, anyways.)

also, tek, good luck with the military thing. fighting for what you believe in is important, whether it's for your country or your family or even for yourself. (and getting a college education isn't a bad idea, either. what're you majoring?)

A 19 year old making 200k a year is uncommon, perhaps rare.. but definately not unheard of.

My brother is offering me a position in his company he is starting up, brinking wireless internet to big stores like bookstores and eventually getting into home development by providing entire neighborhoods with wireless.

Its a business of 3 guys. They each stand to make over a million a year. He offered me a job with them when i was 19.

I refused at the time as i wish to join the military (i firmly believe in fighting for my country) and get a college education. He respects this (he used to be a marine) and is offering me the job as soon as i get settled.

---------------------------------------

As for killing someone... so what? I got 2 counts of first degree assault and almost killed a guy (missed his heart by bouncing the knife off a rib). That was just from me being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hes a SECURITY GUARD thats ALWAYS in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I never said anything was impossible. just very unlikely. It is quite possible that everything that he said is the honest truth, but it is so unliley, I can't beleive it with out knowing the person. Thats just the breaks.

Another problem, if it was so dangerous as to warrant a 200k salary, why would they give it to a 18 year old? Why not an ex-cop/military or somebody with expeirence in the security feild? Just to many holes to expect me to beleive it.

Sigh...

Sorry all trying to be witty and start a Flame war.

Tek you are a God If I wasn't 10 years older then you your kewl sex tips woulda helped me... and 10-15 years ago, they really woulda... you go!

Spider, All I ever asked for was a Link to a news article in French or English... Figured something that big would make news... But I digress. I honestly could care less if it was real or not, just hated all the E-simpathy you were getting in the other thread... just shouldn't have brought it here.. so sorry.

As to everything else... (Takes deap breath) I've been here longer then you Spidey, I just don't post worthless spam bullshit (most of the time) so I'm not a Whore... sorry. Is it possible for an 18 year old to make 200k canadian... sure... when I was that age I was making about 90k doing security consulting on the side... part time. Had I been doing it full time I woulda been paid about the same.
I just think you should ask your bosses to take a bit of your salary and move to a safer part of town... I mean, really, Canada just Ain't that dangerous everywhere!

So I... having fired the first shot! Declare this Flame war over!

haha, but seriously, why do you say 'i could care less' ... i have seen it so many times!

trust me, its an english saying and its 'i COULDN'T care less'! you see, because that means that, no matter what happens, you can't care less, because you dont care at all.

saying 'i could care less' means that, well, you CAN care less, therefore you do care about it, at least to a degree.

why must you bastardise our wonder, beautiful, saxonite language?

[btw, this i sjust a joke, i dont really care, im just wondering why it has been changed to the extent that, well, it doesnt make sense.]
