Armour College

I don't understand the purpose of searching so hard for this type of degree. If it had any value, there would be demand and schools trying to meet that demand. Most people get a criminal justice degree and call it a day. Getting a degree for security, other management,  is overkill. This is a very low-paying field. The high-paying jobs want military or law enforcement experience and certifications, not security degrees.

Security is very basic work that requires a week of training and is mostly learned on the job. You don't need a degree to learn how to watch CCTVs and check doors.

I'm looking at the Fox Valley Technical College program, and the only courses you can't find in a CJ or homeland security program are the alarm installation courses. Security guards don't do alarm installation, though.

I'm with you on this.  It's kind of senseless - to find a degree program for a job that basically pays minimum wage.
