Security Guards???

ok, so my sister is doing a project on a career of her choice. she wants to research security guards. most of her questions are answered, except for four. these questions are: 1.) what kind of schooling and/or training is needed? 2.) when should you start planning for this career? 3.) list the steps to prepare for an entry-level job in your chosen field 4.) what kind of related jobs may help you to prepare for your chosen career? all answers appreciated!! thanks for answering :D

1. Uh... You should be prepared to deal with 14 year olds stealing candy bars and willing to work with minimum wage for 9 hour shifts and be prepared to buy a firearm and shoot it wildly when bored on the shift.
2. uhh i know you have to be 21 to be a security guard.. go to your school library and there is a book called careers in criminal justice.. and it is all in there
