For those willing to make a commitment of service to their country, the military offers a tremendous range of opportunity. A one-stop guide to careers in the military, this book is a useful reference for students considering their career options and wondering if a career in the armed forces is right for them. Profiled here are 80 jobs from all branches of the service with emphasis not only on what career opportunities are available in the military but how military experience can be applied to an exciting career in the civilian world.

Each profile provides detailed information about the duties, salaries, and prospects associated with a particular job.
