Career Options after Service in the United States Army


Career options for veterans are virtually unlimited.  Many employers value military service on an applicant’s resume. The GI Bill can also help fund career opportunities that require higher education.  Many veterans are pleased with the time they spent in the armed forces and their subsequent civilian careers.  The armed forces give many people the discipline they need to succeed in the civilian workforce.  However, many veterans do not want to lose their identities as a former member of the United States Army. 

Remember Your Military Career While Moving On
Army career rings are a great way to remember your military career years after you have been in the civilian workforce.  Similar to a graduation ring, army career rings symbolize a time in your life in addition to a meaningful accomplishment.  Instead of forgetting everything about serving in the United States Army, remember your term of service to your country while pursuing a new career.

A Few Exciting Career Options the Army Will Help Prepare You For

Some career paths that require physical and mental toughness developed in the armed forces are listed below:

  • Medical Careers.  Working with car accident and stroke victims in the emergency room is not easy.  Doctors and registered nurses typically work long shifts and have to think fast.  It is important for quality medical professionals to be able to work with little sleep and ample pressure.  Similarly, this career path can be one of the most interesting and rewarding career paths available.
     
  • Careers in the Construction Industry.  Numerous A-list build firms have a reputation for hiring veterans for a reason.  Construction site superintendents do much more than manual labor.  They have the challenging task of wearing many different hats such as an accountant, a manager, and a subject matter expert in safety.  Construction industry norms include long hours, matter-of-fact communication, and taking pride in a job well done. 

Find a New Career, Keep Your Identity

Being part of the U.S. Army often shapes veteran identity.  Keep your identity with army career rings, and move on to an exciting and challenging civilian career.
