I’m considering 35P as my MOS, are there a lot of civilian opportunities corresponding to the skills you acquire in this MOS?

I’m re-enlisting as a Reservist for a period of time before I go Active again and I’m strongly considering going in as a 35P. My only concern is the civilian opportunities after I get out. My goal is to work in a federal agency later on in life and I want to make sure I’m taking the necessary steps to get there.

Once you make it to the rank of specialist, you can also join civil Affairs and use your language to your advantage. Civil affairs is considered special operations and you have to be a specialist promotable to Sergeant or a senior first lieutenant who is completed his Captain's career course. Something to think about.

Coming from a 35P with 9 years TIS as 35P, my first assignment was working for NSA. Most of the civilians at NSA are veterans from one of the branches (though, you will need a 4-year degree to get that sweet CIV gig). I recently updated my profile on clearancejobs.com (since you will need a TS in order to be a 35P), and within days I was getting offers for contracting jobs ranging from $85K to $125K. So the opportunities are out there. I know many 35P soldiers who quit after their first enlistment and now out-earn me several times over.
