However, it is sickening what our economy has come to, ladies and gentlemen: College graduates working with TSA that make the same as unintelligent high school dropouts.
Be wary of the advice from some folks. Based on your two solitary posts, you need to know that some folks have an anti-TSA agenda and will offer you a very distorted view.
If an employer were to discount your TSA work history, it would be because you didn't successfully articulate how that experience applies to accounting/financing/business management. About the only aspect of it you might be able to emphasize is that it is a public trust position. In other words, you are required to successfully pass a background check and other criteria in order to obtain and hold the job. Otherwise, screening passengers and searching bags offer very little for someone looking for an accountant or other financial services expert.
I'm curious if you can truly back up your comment about high school dropouts. Comes across as cheap hyperbole, pilgrim.
