Anyone know of careers with military-style benefits?

Question

Does anyone know of careers or organizations with military-style benefits (pension, free health care, travel, etc)

I'm too out of shape to join the military, and not very aggressive. But I'm fed up with the crappy private sector employment wages/no benefits, even with a college degree.

Answer 1

all federal government jobs have the military like benefits

if that doesn't work then you can just get in shape and join the military you don't have to be aggressive its not all bang bang kill kill

Answer 2

www.usajobs.gov is a website with civil service jobs...keep in mind that veterans do get a 5-10 point advantage...it also depends on your education.

Something else you could look at are jobs in your county, city or state. Those usually have great benefits. A friend of mine has an associates in electronics and computers but makes $76,000 running one of the county's Communication/Computer Information Systems office. It all depends on your strengths and desires.

Answer 3

Lol, the US airforce is the perfect place for you...jk kind of. Air Force is the most civilian of the sectors. My mother would seriously have her pt be walking around that was back in the day...about 15 yrs ago off the top of my head.

Answer 4

Not really, and that is the whole point of the benes, to attract people. I have no regrets.

All the jobs don't require you to be aggressive (many are not too much different than equivalent private sector jobs, although there can be an element of danger from time to time, even in the seemingly safest jobs) but you do need to stay in decent shape and not be too fat and lazy.  Funny thing is, when it's part of your job and all you buddies are into it, you might be too.

Answer 5

government jobs (local, state or federal government) offer really great benefits...Usually, if you work for a major airline, you get free travel.
