Transitioning into a new career is always tough — and transitioning from military to civilian life is often harder.
It helps to get hired by a company that understands and appreciates veterans, and to choose a career that’s both fast-growing and well-paying.
Luckily, G.I. Jobs has done a lot of the leg work for you with its list of 25 hot jobs for veterans.
