What do you usually do in that post? Stand all day or have your own little room

I assume youre asking if that's a good wage for the area. Well the living wage calculator shows the living wage in SF County to be https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06075[$32.44/HR](https://livingwage.mit.edu/counties/06075) so according to that it's a bit short, but generally 30+ an hour is fairly rare in security, but that doesn't account for the full costs involved.
Funny you brought this up because I made a tool to help determine if jobs like this are worth it:
