US Army, The Benefits of Joining

Given all the benefits, is army pay better than civilian pay? This is a very difficult question to answer. It will depend on education, experience, part of the country you live in, and the risks you are willing to take. If you are a non-union, unskilled, blue collar worker who dropped out of high school, but has good native intelligence (passes a very challenging aptitude test) and a good work ethic, the military pay and benefits are better than you can get on the outside. If you are a highly educated,... Read more »

Great Opportunities in a Hotel Manager Career

Though the industry is likely to do well in the long term, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts there won’t be very much growth in the number of jobs for hotel managers. A lot of new hotels will be economy class and extended-stay hotels, and these kinds of accommodations don’t hire as many managers as shorter-stay, more upscale ones. However, increasing business travel and domestic and foreign tourism will drive employment growth of hotel managers and assistants. Hotel and motels rent... Read more »

Comparison Of Army Tankers And Marine Tankers

The following is an expert opinion by a Military Tanker: “Being a Marine Corps tanker is the way to go. Can’t go into a lot of detail about how Army Tankers and Marine Tankers are different, just that the entire culture of the Army is so much different than the Marines. Either way you’ll go to Ft. Knox, Kentucky. I found it to be a drab and miserable place. I give all due respect to the Army. Anyone who risks their lives in a combat field deserves respect. But, I could never have... Read more »

Chef Career Let’s Get Cooking

If you find yourself right at home in the kitchen, perhaps a chef career would be right up your alley.

Navy’s JAG Program

I am currently undergoing my BA in English at Sacramento State University, but I’m leaning toward a career in the justice dept. I have been looking around for a good place to do my post-grad work and get a law degree and I wondered about the possibility of working for the Navy’s JAG program. Could you tell me some of the steps I would have to go through in order to work through the military and possibly some benefits to doing so (in your mind). Any help or advice you could give me would... Read more »

Becoming An Aerial Gunner, Navigator, Or Crew Chief For The Air Force

I have interviewed an Air Force Crew Chief: “What are the criteria for becoming a aerial gunner/navigator? Is it better than being a crew chief? First, you need to join a unit that flies helos if you want to be a gunner (aka Aerial observer A/O). You can’t be a Crew chief unless you lat move and go to the schoolhouse for the MOS - there is an exception to that in the case of ‘homegrown’, but that’s not in your cards unless you’ve been flying as an A/O previously.” “Second... Read more »

Air Force Flight Engineer Career Field

I want to cross train out of my current AFSC. Flight engineering is 1 of my options. Would you recommend this to someone who is married? Also how long is the tech school, and to what degree of difficulty is it? I’m a former Guidance and control troop, and I am presently an Avionic back shop instructor at Sheppard, so I have a strong avionics background. The AMC way of life is vastly different than AETC. The AMC life centers on deployments. GAC goes just as much as everyone else. If you... Read more »

Careers In Psychology - Which One Is Right For Me

When we are children we tend to dream about what we will do as adults. The many careers that we select are ones like police officers, school teachers, doctors, astronauts, cowboys and movie stars. We tend to aspire to be what we see. While these tend to be childhood dreams that some of us follow, others will go into totally different directions. I am sure that very few of you ever dreamed of having a calling in psychology. Most of us as children probably never really understood what a psychologist... Read more »

The Prosperous People Are Persevering

I have friend. He is the writer. Already more than 20 years he writes the articles, books, the textbooks and sends them in publishing houses, but majority of them operations of publishing house do not accept. In the beginning of the literary career he so is close to heart accepted failures and refusals, what even to throw to write and to attend to something new and completely diferent. But the more he wrote, more his reliance became stronger, that he can achieve success in this hard trade. Shortly... Read more »
