I am in ArmyROTC with a major in Economics and minor in Information Technology. I was wondering what branch would be the most beneficial for the civilian job market. I am extremely interested in a business or IT career after the Army. My favorite branches right now are Finance, Signal Corps, or any Logistics Branch.
I know your given branch is based off the needs of the Army but out of these branches which would open the most doors for me after leaving?
Any input from you guys would be appreciated!

OK, next, what would you want for grad school on a !asters? MBA? Management? Engineering management? Law? CPA? Law and CPA dovetail quite well, so that'd be well worth considering. Another possibility often neglected is operations research, I'll send you some stuff on that as well. How much comp sci (CS) have you had, aside from IT? Math? Physics? Other STEM coursework? The more specific you are, the more can be suggested, OK? Pet me send the other stuff I think your find useful asmwel now, OK?

Your question is very complex, for many reasons. If youre going on açtive, to my mind, the very last thing you should be thinking about candidly, is whatyoud do after you'd get out. I don't deny the relevance of that whole topic, however, if you're going on active, your focus should be in hat, and only hat, believe me, you're gonna have more than enough to worry about just doing what's expected of you on active, without thinking about some civilian career afterward, trust me on that. When I went in, I was to have gone Army ROTC, I went USAF OTS after that instead. I'd wanted the clinical side, it never happened, I wound up somehwrre I'd never expected, doingnwork I'd been trained to do, that was really important stuff, for really important people, I had to learn, often the hard way, to focus in that, and only that, what I wanted didn't matter, didn't count, at all, period, I was told quite bluntly to basically shut up and work. I wasn't allowed to go for any technical training to properly orient me to the hardware I was exposed to, it was straight OJT, period, the end. So, while I don't deny you likely have some choice depending on your interests and GPA, where you're sent, is where you're sent, period, the end. Also, from day one, you're gonna be expected to get a masters, minimum, part time, so acclimate yourself to that thought right now, and just get used to the idea. He same is true of any PME coursework you'd have to do, all svcs are REAL serious about a !asters and PME for new company graders, I mean REAL!serious, trust me, been there, done that (BTDT). Doctoral, that can be later, but masters and PME? Slam dunk no brained, the end, trust me, I don't care which svc you're in, yore gonna find it to be so, I assure you. That being said, to answer you properly, and really thoroughly would take a good deal more info, specific scout deworm you've dine in IT and economics, actual course titles, and your GPA, OK?mhabe you taken the GMAT at all? What year are you? Would tiu want to try to get a masters straight out of undergrad, assuming you GPA would let you compete seriously? Let !e send this for nowz this tablet I'm on has a habit of conking out, plus the spell check isn't the greatest, I'm afraid, then I'll try to send you more that might be useful, OK?
