Pay rates
Security Officer - (City withheld for privacy), Maine, United States
I think that answering with "that is negotiable" when an employer asks about pay rates is a reasonable answer. It leaves room for discussion on average wages for similar jobs and makes you able to give your perspective on this issue.

I believe more compensation
Security Officer - (City withheld for privacy), Pennsylvania, United States
I believe in the wake of 9/11 pay rates should be increased.
