Military
Your service experience has built discipline, leadership, and technical skills that are highly valued in civilian roles. Whether you were in a medical, logistics, combat, or communications role, you have transferable skills and possibly military education that can count toward certifications or college credit. Many roles are accessible without returning to school, but options like federal employment, skilled trades, or first responder work can grow quickly with certification or degree programs.
