Is this a real profession? I got bored and started watching blackwater videos, and found some crazy ass bodyguard schools that were very serious and guarenteed work.

Sounded pretty badass. I guess its the kid in me looking at stuff like that. But, hell the way our economy is going it might be a good thing to get into? lol:lmfao:

Most certainly, Blackwater is also in Iraq though and you have to know that.. jobs like that can put you in some serious situations.

I hear there are bodyguards that make quite a bit of money.

Yeah. It would be a way to make bank and see the world. I dunno. Some crazy ass idea I had to get out of my day to day lifestyle.

Blackwater makes their money tax free over there in Iraq, but they are hated by the locals to my understanding.

blackwater is very much hated because they have a shoot first attitude. We delt with them quite a bit when i was in afghanistan too and it was much the same there.

I have been researching this intently because I actually wouldn't mind this at all. It would give me money to finish college if I went through with it.

They usually want you to have military experience. Particulary Spec ops or anti terrorism training.
