Do you like working TSA?

I am a student in Job Corps and I am going for security. Eventually, I would want to do advanced training and do TSA. For those who work in the field, do you have any recommendations for me? What should I pursue next after getting those certifications? Is getting my conceal/ open-to-carry hard to attain? Any requirements I should know of ahead of time? What do you think of your security job? Is it hard getting hired at a airport?

I know that I want to pursue this career, however, I would like to hear any experiences or opinions shared along the way.

Angel’s Answer

That’s awesome that you’re already planning ahead for a career in TSA and security! Working in TSA can be really rewarding, as you help keep people safe and secure while they travel. After getting your certifications, focus on gaining experience in security roles and continuing your education. If you're considering getting a concealed carry permit, the process depends on your state, but it generally involves background checks and a safety course. As for getting hired at an airport, competition can be tough, but persistence and a strong work ethic help. Keep building your skills, stay motivated, and don’t hesitate to network. You're on the right track! Best of luck!
Thank you comment icon Thank you, Angel, for supporting my career choice and giving me lovely advice! I am looking forward to graduating and getting all the experience, certifications, and a pretty easy-to-accomplish process for the concealed carry permit. I will have fewer worries now. Have a wonderful day! Dani

TRAVIS’s Answer

Hello, Congrats on your Job Corps scholarship. I do not work in the field, but I do have some advice on Job Corp training. It is important to maintain excellent attendance and conduct while at the Job Corps. Your job opportunities will be better, the more training you get. Your willingness to relocate for job opportunities will also increase your chances of getting a TSA job but also being able to advance your career within the TSA. Work hard and get as much training as possible now so you can reap the rewards for the rest of your life. Be sure to ask your career counselor as to how to achieve these goals. You will do well.
