If you want to make the Army a career, and you want the most career advancing MOS, join the infantry. It's the largest MOS and the fastest promoting. You can make it to CSM in the infantry even faster than your SF counterparts. If you go to Ranger school, you'll get promoted even faster.
But, chances are you aren't looking for something that challenging, though. In which case, 17C if you have the skills, certifications and meet the requirements for your packet to be accepted. Application MOSs are always preferable.
If not that, 92A, 68W, 79R, 88M have good selection rates for SFC and offer a broad array of assignments.

Infantry! Yes, yes, and yes. School opportunities are plentiful. Start planning ahead for retirement. Worked for me.

17C is a very good MOS to look at. Also, look at 35T. It is inline with your current MOS.

There are numerous MOS's that would fit that description. But the biggest factor, is "Is this something I like doing?" The Army has journalists who write for post newspapers; broadcasters that play music on AFN, cooks who can become chefs, mechanics, medics, dental assistants, clerks, finance specialists, Special Forces, Rangers, and numerous other jobs.

The three questions, are "Would I like doing this?" "Is this MOS open?" and "Do I qualify to train into this job?"
