Whats the best MOS for a high school graduate that can lead to a good civilian salary?

My apologies, wrong post.

But from what I have experienced is that unless your MOS gives you a credit certificate in that field (Air Force gives you a community college credit) then only thing that carry’s over from a technical skill is experience. Whatever job you would like to have you would have to get certified once again in a civilian type school. For example if you choose MP, once you get out you would still have to go through a academy and get certified.

Sorry for the typos, I'm on a clumsy tablet, with a rather problematic keyboard, I'm afraid, prone to frequent errors, despite my nest efforts.

Reme!Ber this always, OK? If you go in, youre there to serve, not ne served, I hope that encapsulates my previous thoughts as aptly and concisely as I can phrase them, if you'd care to chat further, I'm obvioisly willing. Anytime, of course, as well.

I would recommend learning all about yourself first. Figure out your good at, and figure out what you aren't good at. Since you are graduating high school soon (I assume), you will have plenty of opportunity to do that in the coming years. Once you have your personal skill set figured out, research many different MOS, and choose a good match based on your unique skill set.

It might not seem like it now, but you will figure things out in terms of which MOS/civilian career you want to pursue. You'll be fine. Good luck!

Depends on what you like. Research the different MOS's. Then, put a list of your top MOS, and then have a couple of backups.

25B Army Information Technology Specialists

Infantry.

Seriously though - if you don't like to do it, you won't make any money at it because:
1. You will not be any good at it
2. You won't put any effort into it
3. You will hate going to work, get ulcers and die
4. Some who likes that kind of work will run circles around you
5. You will quit because you would rather be doing something you enjoy

What is your motivation for joining the military?

In the army I was a radio teletype operator, then multi systems radio operator. I then became a forward observer. Just in those MOS’s I had various identifiers. After retirement I got an MBA in Accounting and run a rebar placing company. One of my employees that I trained as an estimator is a plumber in the military. Decide if you have the drive to do what you want after you get out, don’t worry about what MOS you have when you are in.

I may be partial because of my current area of focus, but any specialty related to Computer/Cyber/Information Security is in great demand in the private and public sector. However, I recommend that every individual pursue a field that is truly of interest to him/her, because passion for something is a great predictor of future success in that endeavor--whatever it may be. In addition, high school graduates have a long time to really determine what they want to do with their lives and it may or may not relate to their military experience.
