I’m a fairly big and strong dude. I hate my current job and want to change careers. I think I would be a good goon, like a character Batman beats up before a boss fight in an Arkham game or that Noir detective outsmarts. How does one acquire such a job? I don’t see any posting on Indeed.
Well there’s three ways I’ve seen from back when I was a young irresponsible man. Join a boxing club, get a job as a bouncer of the scummiest strip club or bar you can find that’s run by kingpins, and make friends with high level drug dealers and go do debt collecting for them. It’s not that hard. Wienery dealers love to feel like badasses with muscle behind them. Just gotta find one that will pay you well enough to justify it.
Oh there’s actually a really nasty strip club one neighborhood over, I once went in there accidentally cuz I thought it was just a regular bar. I’ll see if they’re looking for someone, thanks!
Haha no problem. Wasn’t sure if you were joking or not but hey, if I can help a guy make the same shitty decisions that I did when I was in my 20’s then I’m all for it.
Honestly strip club bouncer is probably better than my current job. At least I get to sit down.
I had a friend who had a strip club go in at street level below their apartment (a somewhat odd zoning decision in a mostly residential/commercial area.) Was kind of funny though - they ended up being close with the bouncers who really liked their little dog, and they had enough of a relationship with the DJ that they could text if the music/bass was too loud (they did first/swing shifts) while the club adjusted to the new environment. They were a union organizer though, so I was impressed, but not surprised, they could find common ground.
