Everyone thinks about middle management and law enforcement, but there are various different jobs that veterans may be specially suited for based ontheir experienced and skills, both hard and soft. For instance, service members who have performed in certain positions may be suited to be teachers because of their experience with training others.

I met a lot of vets who were pursuing culinary arts when I was the commander of my school's SVA chapter. I've also met vets who wanted to do what they did in the military, but the civilian world doesn't have an exact equivalent of their MOS, or the job requires years of sitting in a classroom for something they learned in 6-12 weeks.

I turned to teaching myself. We have maybe five or six veterans who are teachers out of over a hundred on the teacher staff. We need more veterans as teachers in my opinion.

SGT (Join to see) - Most states have alternative certifications, especially in STEM. An initial certificate can be attained, and then other requirement can be acquired after time. Each state is different; however, most states have certification reciprocity. I think preferred field of teaching is a good route to go.

I wanted to be my own boss but didn't have the money to build my own business. I became a Snap-on TOOL Dealer. I credit my 24 years in the US Navy for giving me the training I needed to be a successful tool dealer. I spent 19 years with Snap-on and owned two franchises.
