Doormen

[Kira_90]

All of the doormen I have seen when being out are actually men hence the name I'm guessing. It may sound sexist but can women be door men and can we change it to doorwomen I really fancy doing this as a weekend job think it would be so interesting.

There's a woman who does it at a club in my local town. You have to be pretty gutsy IMO.

I used to see lots of women doing it so yes, can be done.

At least a third of the door supervisors around here (Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, etc) are women.

Hi Kira

Female Door-staff are usually in demand in most areas. You will need to attend a short course and apply to the Security Industry Authority for a licence to work as door staff. People can get these course free if in receipt of benefits I believe.

Wages are typically £10-15 per hour depending on where you work.

I've seen loads of doorwomen, have to say though, I don't see what's interesting about dealing with a load of drunks (especially women), nightmare!

I was offered a job as a doorman as I could address people as 'Sir' without sneering but I have to say it is not something I jumped at. - also I bathed regularly which was a definite plus in my favour

You do need a licence without which you cannot work
I mean it is long hours and you dont get paid much

what about being a rocket scientist or QC lawyer ?
They both do interesting things.
