If you choose the ETS to College attendance route using the GI Bill. When your attending college it is always nice to get a job that is close to your major before you reach your Senior year. This is not always 100% necessary though. When I was in school full time on the Army College Fund, I tried to find an internship my Junior year but the Economy was crap and not a lot of takers for a Finance Major with a Technical minor in Computer Programming. So, I saw a job opened for Night Auditor at a local Wyndham hotel that was about to open. I interviewed for the job and they liked that I just left the service and had 2.5 years of college already. I got the job, it only paid 7.50 an hour back in 1989 but they trained me in everything I needed to know. I got hands on financial book keeping experience, hands on hotel management experience, hands on hotel IT systems experience. And it opened doors big time at both the Wyndham chain (they wanted me to move to one of their Las Vegas hotels which would have bumped up my pay quite a bit). Also opened doors at the Parent Company Trammel Crow Real Estate, which is a large company. So if your in college now and all you see is crappy jobs don't think your above the hotel Night Auditor job, it definitely has it's advantages.

There is also the Law Enforcement area as well as Correctional Security. When I was in most Infantry selected these two areas which was kind of depressing for me to watch because there is more than these two areas but they require a little thinking, planning and writing to companies or talking to folks in your chosen field online. They have both Police and Correctional Officer discussion forums online where you can research these areas more with people that are in them. Also you can use some of the LinkedIn groups setup and attempt a discussion there.
