As a long term career, bouncing is definitely one that you can look forward to some... interesting challenges. To be honest, if you don't have the build, you wouldn't be a good bouncer. The primary purpose of the job is prevention rather than intervention, and no matter how good of a fighter you are, if you don't look physically big you are going to have to handle a lot more people thinking that they can push you around because you aren't bigger than them. Yes, many meat heads focus on lifting rather than fighting, but they are an intimidating sight to behold. On the other hand, a lot of the UFC fighters are not necessarily hulks, but could take almost anyone to town (not to mention Bruce lee was hardly an imposing figure). You need intimidation first, skills second.

(other security positions might lean a bit more towards skill than looks, depending on what you are doing)

Career fighting might bun fun, but you must weigh in the fact that only a few really make it into the big leagues.

Personally, stunt work sounds fun to me- but you must keep in mind that show is what counts there. If you go this route, you might want to try out Wushu a little bit.

Lastly there is the secret agent route...but that's a secret...

There are exceptions though. One of the bouncers at a local club is 5ft 4" and a woman! She scares even the biggest of guys cuz of her "tough nut" attitude!

You could teach the marines or go into filmaking.

You would probably need a military background and a decent amount of experience if the Marines were going to take you on as a teacher.
