What are some of the best places to work after the military for enlisted?

The question is really too broad. It depends upon so many factors: location, military skills, even rank. BUT, the one place where many of my retired friends have made a killing is going right back to work for the federal government (GS) and becoming a double-dipper. The opportunities are almost endless, the bennies plentiful, and the monetary rewards will grow almost exponentially.

SSG-I work with many former military people, of both senior enlisted and junior to mid-level commissioned rank. What I find is that there is virtually no advantage/impediment based on rank. I've worked for people who left as E5, and been on "equal" terms with people who left as O5. It all comes down to the industry, market and skill sets involved.

JOs make good corporate "cannon fodder" where someone willing to work largely for "resume building" is needed to fill a gap for 3-5 years. That said, I managed to somehow survive eight years in my current position. SNCOs can make excellent program managers; particularly when working in an equivalent or similar area of technical expertise. I've worked for many former E7's who are now senior level Operations Managers in Oil and Gas.

Any industry focused on logistics, energy, transportation, regulatory services, law enforcement are fertile fields to plow for any veteran.

Ultimately, there are minimum degree/cert qualifications for any job, and from what I've seen, there's just as many former infantry possessing an MBA, as their are former aviators selling insurance.

I agree with SCPO (Join to see), the question as it stands is very broad making it very difficult to answer SSG John McCammon's question. There are so many independent factors that goes into the problem.
