If you want to make the Army a career, and you want the most career advancing MOS, join the infantry. It's the largest MOS and the fastest promoting. You can make it to CSM in the infantry even faster than your SF counterparts. If you go to Ranger school, you'll get promoted even faster.
But, chances are you aren't looking for something that challenging, though. In which case, 17C if you have the skills, certifications and meet the requirements for your packet to be accepted. Application MOSs are always preferable.
If not that, 92A, 68W, 79R, 88M have good selection rates for SFC and offer a broad array of assignments.

Infantry! Yes, yes, and yes. School opportunities are plentiful. Start planning ahead for retirement. Worked for me.

There are numerous MOS's that would fit that description. But the biggest factor, is "Is this something I like doing?" The Army has journalists who write for post newspapers; broadcasters that play music on AFN, cooks who can become chefs, mechanics, medics, dental assistants, clerks, finance specialists, Special Forces, Rangers, and numerous other jobs.
The three questions, are "Would I like doing this?" "Is this MOS open?" and "Do I qualify to train into this job?"

In 1954-57 I was a Combat Engineer in Germany. At that time Combat Engineers were trained and handled all land mines no wires, mostly just "pressure- released" in digging up old U. S. and German.
It is amazing how often I would have to go on sick-call on landmine days.

17 series. This is going to be HOT for a few good years. If you can put up with Ft. Gordon, this would be worth your while.

the only thing about reclassification can be as bad as being over strength in your present MOS...would you be qualified, can you get the school, are the other MOS' overstrength? You'll find out by being a little patient, keep hitting the books and seek adventurous work from your NCOIC so you can reduce the boredom, if it's there, and push ahead. Everything comes to those who wait and endure....you're a freshman, slow down, take a deep breath and push ahead. Your time will come!

If you can (and you're interested), go 25D - Cyber Network Defender. That would be a great career in or out of the military. I would imagine, if you pursued and acquired a spot, you would have plenty of experiences in different roles/assignments.
