You don't want to work as any kind of a bouncer or threat response specialist, since Rage and petty violence don't mix well. But security companies need surveillance, training, armory and inventory management, personnel and scheduling, and lots of other peripheral work. The security supervisor at the minimall isn't hiring, but she gives you almost twenty places to check out: light industrial sites that need night watchmen, armored car companies that need people to handle inventory, and even a few companies that sell security equipment.
You hit the streets for hours, hitchhiking twice to get out of the cold, but you get nowhere. Most places either want a driver's license, which you don't have, or long and regular hours, which you can't commit to. The rest are already full up with veterans of America's endless wars or police officers rounding out their salaries. Around 3 pm, you spend some time placing calls using the phone of a neglected motel lobby to nearby malls and housing complexes, but even the lowest rent-a-cop jobs are filled.
I want to interact with normal people: what about barista or restaurant work?
This town is full of academics, and that library was impressive. I look for library or bookstore jobs.
I want a job that uses my mind: I take the position at Epicycle Bikes.
I want something physical that also keeps me away from people: I take the groundskeeper position at Gorsky Manor.
