Best Post-Military retirement degrees

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.

My buddy was a marksman in the marines. He's doing contractor work right now and he's loving it. Degree wise? I'm not sure. Depends on how much money you wanna make.
Veterans make good history teachers.
Plants love people in the military because you have that instinct of when shite goes bad, you don't hesitate to do what you need to do.
It also depends what you do in the military. My uncle retired as a major in the ANG. He was an engineer so he's working as a civil engineer now.
There are many routes you can take. Best of luck, thanks for your service and God bless

I'd get something relevant to your military specialty.
example: if you were an Army Engineer, I'd get a construction management degree to show you have the technical knowledge and work experience.
I was a Electronics Technician and got my certs in IT along with a degree in Management.
If you were a 20 year infantryman, I'd skip college and go to a technical trade school.

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.

Just as if you didn't have any military.

shite, I need to get into this field. Hospital administrators make pretty darn good money.

It's a decent field, but is hard to get into without graduate school, connections, or a shite ton of experience.

Difference is, I'm not a 22 y/o just entering the work force... not sure if that'll make it more difficult to land a job.
With that, I'm obviously not going to be looking for entry level shite, I'd like to just about match my military pay that I'm currently making.

Well, then you'd better do something that directly relates to your military career.

In the long run, I suspect that a degree is more so going to be a block fill than anything.
I'm running production of upwards of 13 shops and 800 people, so my experience will go further than a degree I would think.
I just don't want to get a shitty degree.

Business Administration or maybe Industrial Engineering - particularly if you see yourself doing this (and moving up) through retirement.
