Work may take place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most bodyguards work in teams and do 6 or 8-hour shifts, but others may have longer, irregular hours. They must be prepared to accommodate the client at all times. This includes traveling to all parts of the world. Being a bodyguard is a serious commitment. The job holds an element of danger. A bodyguard may work with a celebrity in Los Angeles, the children of a wealthy family in Mexico City, or a VIP executive in the Middle East. Wherever the job takes them, they must be ready for anything. They may spend the day skiing in Vail, avoiding bullets from armed robbers in NYC, or searching vehicles for bombs in Dubai. A bodyguard is always close to his client and can never underestimate anyone.
