What job opportunities are best for an Infantryman/11B/grunt after being discharged?

There are tons of Federal and state jobs available. I'm planning on working as a park warden back home.

Soldier for the Corleone family? :-)

All kidding aside, I think 1LT Scott Doyle hit it on the head with the leadership aspect. There's generally nothing between you and that soldier you're leading in an infantry squad. It's a face to face and face-in-face leadership style that differs from other MOSs. MPs (I'll use this because that's where the majority of my experience is) rely on less direct leadership at the squad level and more of a, "Here's the mission, I trust your going to do this and do it right" approach based on the nature of the beast. You send out 3 man teams in armed vehicles to recon routes and escort convoys and even though the squad leader does a similar job, they can't immediately reach out and touch the vehicle next to them directly. Both approaches are effective, just different. Infantry rely a lot more on non-verbal communications to get their job done. You rehearse it and rely on seeing eyes and faces to ascertain understanding and direction to initiate or cease action.

I would venture to say HR, sales, counseling, instructing or teaching - anything where reading and affecting people directly comes into play.

Best of luck in your quest!

Ones where you say, "Do you want fries with that?"
I am only kidding. That fact is, depending on how long you were in and what rank you attained, having an 11B MOS is not a deterrent. My late wife worked with transitioning soldiers (Yeah, that meant something different when I was in) and could pull out leadership experience, discipline, teamwork, and other resume buzzwords to go with the military service. It is what else you have done, like taking classes toward a degree, community service, and many other things. Talk to the people at/before discharge or wherever you go after leaving and talk to American Legion or VFW Rep for help.

Grunts are the backbone of our great Army. Hard work and heavy lifting win the day. Like anything else in life you can go as far as your talents and work ethic take you. There is no problem with trying different things. Stay disciplined. Use your time wisely.

Cop. Be a cop. That's what I did after I separated.

It'd depend what you'd want, school? Work? Ambitions? Interests? Goals? Reserve? Guard? AGR? Guard Tech? Reserve Tech? What college have you done, of you could elaborate? What major would you want if you went back? STEM? Non-STEM? Clinical? Nonclinical? Obviously, you could try for criminal justice and police, regardless of what level, local, state, Federal, certainly, however, that'd depend on what you'd want, of course...it'd help to know more, to be able to suggest more, if Gould elaborate at all, possibly, so far as possible, of course....

I view being an 11B as a good foundation. You should decide on a career you want to pursue and then get working on the education you need to get it.

The skills and life lessons taught in the military have trained you for many occupations!!!! Wishing the you very best in finding your passion, if telecommunications ends up on your list, please reach out and I will gladly connect you with a qualified recruiter!!!

you are your only limitation. skills can be learned, education can be gotten. as you should have learned many times during your training, you can do much more than you think you can.
