| Are they like the mercenaries on Skyrim? Make you pay 500 gold just so they follow you once? Expensive, is that not? |

Considering private contractors are explicitly prevented from active combat under penalty of war crimes, civilian murder charges, etc.
Basically, this is your job:
Guard this guy, train these soldiers, protect this shipment, rinse, repeat, and hold a gun intimidatingly.
The job of a private contractor has changed so much since my dad was in EO. |

| I thought mercenaries were banned under some convention, how do these "security" firms bypass it? |

Get a minigun and say "I am heavy weapons guy." And that will be your job. |

>I thought mercenaries were banned under some convention, how do these "security" firms bypass it? ------------------ I believe the ban was lifted under the fact that many poor countries have mercenaries and that is one of the ways that these poor countries employ their citizens. |

Oh my god Cane...
I think I might look into BW now. (Why did they change there name anyway?)
I would like to have a family after being in the US military though, and I doubt being a mercenary lets you. |

| The US military pays low and is much more dangerous than being a XE merc. |

But if I can get into an academy like Westpoint, I have that prestige, start as an officer, and can get any job I want outside of the service.
Besides, soldiers are usually praised, mercenaries are hated. |

Is it wrong if I think that being a mercenary actually sounds like it might be fun? lol Going to strange, exotic new lands, meeting new people, and then pointing guns at them menacingly. |

| This actually sounds like a good career once I complete two yearly contracts I can have enough money to last me a life time. |

| Low end you can make a quarter of a million a year. High end is somewhere in the 300,000 to 400,000. |
