For those that have retired or separated after more than one enlistment... what do you think the best degrees are for a nearly 40 y/o to have when entering the workforce?

Knew a guy retired military, became an ROTC teacher for a high school, retired after 20 years. Moved to Texas starting teaching ROTC, his goal was to have 3 pensions by 67.

I'm not prior military but I have family/co-workers who are. I think something like construction management/project management/logistics, or possibly informatics (if you are tech savvy) might be a good fit.

Construction Management, Safety, Industrial Hygiene
Easy material and the student pool is Male biased which decreases the amount of competition in the field, and being that it's blue collar stigma, keeps the nerds away.
1. Good money
2. Girls not interested in it(fewer graduates to compete with) (gender biased professions have had higher earnings)
3. Material is stuff blue collar people deal with so it's not over your head if you have an IQ over 100
4. Being the stigma surrounding the industry is of a "worker" profession, college elitists tend to choose majors that they consider more "professional"(business,accounting, etc) further decreasing competition.
