Unarmed security always seemed like a great gig to use as a means to get other stuff done if you were trying to get to the next station in life. A couple patrols and you could spend the remainder of the time studying or upskilling or whatever. Unarmed implicitly means you're guarding things people are less likely to want to steal or mess with, and even if they choose to, being unarmed you're less likely to get hurt proactively.
I used to work a night shift job over the summer in college and it was great having my mornings free (I'd sleep in the afternoon/evening before going in) but the work itself was just busy enough where I couldn't really do anything else on a shift.

The company I worked for did guard sort of higher value targets, like state museums containing art, but fortunately with no weapons required. So in general, yes, it is a good job on the way up - if you manage to avoid the energy of the people who settled as guards with the purpose of doing as little as possible for the rest of their lifes. That was actually the stressful part for me, despite interactions with coworkers happened rarely.
