This review is from: 150 Best Jobs Through Military Training (Jist's Best Jobs) (Paperback)

Part of JIST's "Best Jobs" series, 150 Best Jobs Through Military Training is a no-nonsense listing of 150 and 75 military job descriptions. Sorting the "best jobs" into best pay, fastest growth, and most openings, and grounding its recommendations firmly in the latest government data, 150 Best Jobs Through Military Training devotes roughly a page or more to each job entry, with a wealth of additional, more general information concerning possible career paths. Figures tell the reader at a glance the average annual earnings, growth rate, annual job openings, percent of self-employed workers, and percent of part-time workers for each job. An easy-to-use guide enthusiastically recommended for anyone serving in the military.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding Military Jobs, April 15, 2009

This review is from: 150 Best Jobs Through Military Training (Jist's Best Jobs) (Paperback)

what a great book, very comprehensive and there are many jobs that someone wouldn't expect to find in the military. It's really great to see how many ways you can help your country.
Another good place I found to find military jobs is http://www.MilitaryCrossing.com They offer tons of options and is a really great starting place for people searching for jobs in the military. Check it out before you buy the book to see what you can find.
