Join ASIS and look into corporate security. Get out of the guard service unless you are in a corporate propriatary security department. Take a project management class and test. Get into security systems design and learn all you can about secuity access systems and video monitoring (how they work) - look forward into security management and how you can get a state certification as a security manager.
