This generation of veterans is surely going to be the next Greatest Generation. Not only do we have a plethora of educational benefits at our disposal, we have a vast array of support programs to get us back into the work force. Granted it will take a few more years for veterans to saturate the civilian sector in order for our skills, work ethic, experiences to be fully understood as well as appreciated.

I've noticed a huge need for leaders at all levels with employers across the board. This can be supervisory roles all the way up to GMs. Many of us, regardless of rank, work very well cross-functionally and can lead when given the tools to succeed. Our generation of separating and retiring military are the perfect fits to lead teams of 5 to 500 in many industries. The future leaders of America, are definitely right here.

SSG Shaun Murphy Great to see you here in this discussion forum. I love what Teach for America offers to veteran and I wholeheartedly support this initiative. I'm so glad you brought it up!

To be honest, I have no idea. The GI bill is awesome but I am so lost on what I want to do. I haven't seen really any good opportunities out there for me when it comes to employment. Would love to hear anyone else opinion on their great opportunity.

Well whatever it is that you choose to work in private, public, government, corporate or non-profit chose the one that you believe you will fit best. Good luck....Let me know if you need some assistance.

SrA Hagler,I feel your pain. It's difficult making that decision when you feel like whatever you do will limit all of your other options. I've never been impressed by a title. Most of us have been programmed since birth that the goal should be a good job and most folks swallow that pill. A few of us understand that leverage changes the game. If you are open to opportunity outside the traditional 9-5, let me know and I (and my team) will show you how to start building a residual income.

Brother, start going to school and using those educational benefits. Once you start going to college, you can get a feel for what you want to do with the rest of your life. Also, use those career councilors at the school you go to to help you choose the path that is right for you.

I completely agree with SSgt Adams. Getting yourself registered into college, taking courses, having an open mind, and keeping an eye out for what you find interesting and passionate about while going through that experience will help solve those "what do I want to do" questions.
