Question

(h**l go when he gets home). what are some jobs marines have found are somewhat easy to get into after serving? hes very creative and is good at writing and things like that (advertising?) and hates math. thanks!!! :)

Answer 1

Hmmm.. marines is good for young guys coz after they spend time like 2 years in it.. they still have time to study. Im a 27 guy and im just joining the army. And they have job for me that i like which is i feel im so lucky to have.. a linguist. Marines have jobs which are all directed mostly to combats as you see.. hmm math? lol i was gona say Marines have jobs that are related to engineers but ur bf dnt like it.. i like some math like fractions and algebra and stuff but not the deep ones.

If ur bf wants a job in military that can relate to real world... go army.. they have medics, x ray techs, electric stuffs, air controller which gets paid high like up to 80,000 a year in civilian life.. they manage the airplane traffic, Military police.. u can go to a police man career after being an MP. MP is what i like also coz u can get a big chance to stay in US army barracks in US.. theyre the ones who open the gates etc and pretty easy job i believe, truck drivers, cooks, and yeah.. Linguist too. army can teach u other language and u get paid 350$ more in ur check for every language u know. I got one already and im going for another easy one.. prolly Italian or greek.  

Best of luck to u both :)

Answer 2

I went into construction and served a 5 year apprenticeship to be a Plumber. Never regretted it.

Answer 3

After 4 years of his military service, as a Marine, he'll have 4 years inactive where they can recall him if needed at anytime. He will also have an easier time applying for a government job. He could go into construction, get a job at the post office, with UPS(i hear they make a pretty good pay) or if you live on the westcoast, like cali a lot of my Marine friends that got out are now working border patrol and or in a correctional facility.

Answer 4

It really depends what his MOS in the Marine Corps is... My boyfriend's original MOS is a financial advisor (I don't know the numbers...) so when he decides to retire from the Marine Corp he'll enter the civilian world as a CPA (Certified Private Accountant).
