Well, since I live in germany, only very rare guard jobs involve guns. Like money transports, weapon manufacturing and guarding military areas. 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.
