Did anyone pursue a career in-line with their military specialty?

I am currently pursuing my bachelors in Business and than my MBA. I am hoping to use my military experience to show my leadership, dedication, responsibility and management qualities. I will not be pursuing a career in satellite communications, which is what I did for the Army. Do you think this will hurt me in future interviews? I am a little nervous this will reflect poorly on my resume. What does everyone think?

Leadership, dedication, responsibility and management qualities in the outside world is not "barking orders". It is something Congress can't do--compromise. In many instances, this is how the job gets done. Leadership in the real world is lacking. In my many jobs in the both the military and civilian worlds I can think of only 3 true leaders. Good luck in your education, however, remember, understanding the job and people are the true way to leadership.

Is there anyone on here who was a satellite controller in the army and got a job doing roughly the same thing after?

Just wanted to say thanks for all the great responses now that the thread seems to have dwindled away!
