Would a 92Y be wise to reclassify to 79S (Career Counselor) in order to have better employment prospects after the Army?

As a former Career Counselor no retired and have been looking for jobs. I would say no way. To do my job in the civilian side they want formal education. Counseling or Human Resources Degree. Which I do not have. It has been hard. Being logistics every company out there can use your skills.

If you are good at logistics, Enjoy the job and can see yourself in it beyond the Army and also have a knack to execute and lead-stay with your MOS. If you do not enjoy your MOS, can’t see yourself in it after the Army and feel like your spinning your wheels then reclassify for sure. Now, should you be a Career Counselor, that is a entirely different question. If you have strong people skills, want to help people out, work to retain the best, are selfless and can tell someone what they should try and do, even if that is t what they want to do and above all see yourself as a vital component to the Army of the future-then become a Career Counselor! It is a great MOs and an awesome way to work in the Army; but you don’t get the same extras as you would in recruiting and possibly on the trail; hope that helps!

I would get on LinkedIn and Indeed and look up about 10 jobs for each profession. Look at required certifications for these jobs and the expected salary. You stated the word 'wise' in your question. I would have used the word profitable but you may have others. You need to determine what is right for you. Both professionals are starkly different with there own set of challenges. What is obtainable at a given time at a cost with a known return value might be something to consider.

Not at all. The only reason to reclass to career counselor is that you love this job. You would have great opportunities in both MOS for civilian certifications and employment.

Are you planning on being a used car salesman? Most of them are like recruiters--they prevaricate. Look at something you enjoy and go with it. In the civilian world Diesel Mechanics make good money, Truckers [and Bus Drivers don't require college], the Postal Service pays good. Me, I got into the Safety Field after the military. Safety is something you know about and are [or should be] subjected to daily. I spent 25 years in the field and the money isn't bad. Do something you enjoy for you may do it the rest of your life.

Depending where you want to retire career counselors might be able to get it slot in,civilian side but I think of them as a sale person check with acap see what career counselor transfer civilian side

I did it for four and half years and loved it and got the promotion

Go to school for global supply chain management. Complete senior leaders course. Google USA jobs. In the search engine put in the word logistics. Get experience in the Army add civilian education and the jobs are endless

There is now a way to get certification for being a 92Y thru the CLA Credentialing Program. Apparently the US Army partnered with the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) to help make this happen for 92A, 92Y, 920A and 920B MOSs. I am new to this site, but will try and send you the PowerPoint thru here with the info.

If you add the new MOS that will help. I found the Supply background helped me greatly with customer Service. I am now a National Sales Manager for a large pipe fitting Company. Best of luck to you.
