Security guard – it’s a special profession

Any kind of profession should have professional education. It should be. But it happens, that employees do some job without any qualification, it refers to different professions. For example, manager – it’s a specialist, which should have management education. In real life, many organizations name “manager” anybody. Manager could be the person who gets the order or sales something. Maybe it is made to make the job status higher for employee, and he could say: “I’m a manager.” It sounds with prestige. Generally, maybe it’s not correct, but at the same time it doesn’t matter that usual seller is called manager.

It’s a pity, but the same attitude to the profession stays in security. The functions of the security guard could be executed by administrators, watchmen and other people, who don’t have the right for guard activity.
