It really depends on where you are working. Does your city have a high crime rate? Would you be working as security for a high risk company or watching a parking garage and be bored to tears?

Just being a security guard doesn't mean you'll be in danger...

Because security jobs ARE potentially dangerous....at the hospital, our security personnel face hostile families, people high on drugs, people detoxing off drugs/alcohol....yes, dangerous job, glad someone is there to do it though!

It depends on what "people" you are talking about, and where the "security guard" is working.

Example: A security guard working for a security company patrolling normal businesses or residences will make about minimum wage - so, obviously, their employers don't think the job is dangerous.

Because they put themselves in harm's way to stand between dangerous troublemakers  and innocent bystanders.  I appreciate them very much!

Security Guard job description from the internet:

Responsible for patrolling the premises of residences or buildings to detect suspicious activity, assist tenants, and ensure the safety of occupants.

That sounds like a good description of "In harm's way."
