Civilian job suggestions:
Field Service Technician -- If you enjoy fixing and fiddling with mechanical systems, you might like working as a field service technician. The job usually requires you to work on a variety of systems and rarely provides the same challenges from day to day. You'll also have the satisfaction of maintaining infrastructure that the U.S. relies on to maintain the level of functionality and standard of living citizens usually enjoy.
Delivery Driver -- Delivery drivers have a broad range of jobs available to them. From delivering mail to hauling cargo across state lines, there's plenty of work to choose from. However, all delivery drivers should have a strong sense of timeliness, organization and interpersonal skills.
Engineer -- Many types of engineers work on many different technologies, but each one blends creativity and technical proficiency to solve complex problems. Engineering jobs usually require at least a bachelor's degree, but often a master's will enhance an applicant's chances.
