THE DOOR: ENTRY DIFFICULTY TODAY, graded A (easy) to E (extremely hard). A Careermash rule-of-thumb index built from our AI exposure index and the job's moat class. It is not a forecast and not a count of job openings.

AI EXPOSURE TODAY is a Careermash index from 0 to 100 of how exposed this job's everyday tasks are to AI today. We estimate it by matching published research on how people use AI to this job, usually by keyword or subject area, and we lower it where the work is protected (for example by physical, personal or legal requirements). It is not a direct measurement of how much people in this job use AI.

AI exposure is modest for this work today
AI exposure today for this job is modest on our index (20), an estimate rather than a measurement. We have not yet classified what, if anything, structurally protects it, so we make no claim either way about a moat. Learn the tools, and build the judgement that stays human.

The role

The work is checking tickets, directing people to seats and exits, answering questions, watching for problems and helping out in an emergency. Staying calm, being approachable and following safety procedures matter, since you are there to keep large crowds safe as well as helpful and welcoming.

The work is casual and shift-based, often evenings, weekends and event days, outdoors in all weathers, and on your feet for long stretches. Pay is usually around the minimum wage, and the hours fit well around studies or other jobs.

You can often start with little or no experience and get basic training on the day or beforehand, including safety and crowd-management briefings. Some roles, especially those closer to security duties, may need an SIA licence, so check what each job requires.
