Before my enlistment selection I interviewed 100 Veterans in an attempt to determine what branch and position would empower me for the future. After much guidance, I believed the Guidance and Control Technician or Nuclear operator would provide great opportunities. Air Force and quality of life influenced my decision.

I think it's all about timing! If you are planning on staying in the military for a tour or two then picking something currently viable will be simple but if you plan on making a career in the military of it for the next 20+ years then you need to realize that things change... The world changes... It's about scoping the education opportunities when they arise therefore I would say pick something you are good at or love and then try to use it to fit into the career you want to progress in. Being able to do that will be more valuable then researching a bunch of MOS's and jobs where may end up choosing one that may become obsolete or you may not end up loving but once again... This is my humble opinion.
