RP Members what is your opinion? I like sales a lot and business metrics!
After serving their country, veterans may find it tough to get excited about sales quotas and business metrics.
After years of uniformed service, which might have included deployments to hostile environments, a transitioning veteran might be excused for feeling a certain level of entitled selfishness in contemplating his next job move.
Having done so much for others, it would be normal to think that the civilian phase of one's career is about pursuing self-interest and personal gain above all else. However understandable these sentiments might be, the truth is that maintaining the spirit of selflessness and idealism that drove volunteering for service in the first place may be the key to an effective civilian job search and lifetime career satisfaction.

It comes down to personality, some will do great in jobs where they continue to serve in some sort of public capacity while others will be better focusing on themselves and their needs. These two may intersect but more often they will be separate pursuits. It is worth making veterans aware of the opportunity though.

A great way to continue to serve is in law enforcement, I'm enjoying the work I do for the department of corrections where I live.
