  • i was a nuclear trained MM, and got a job at a civilian nuclear power plant. nuke stuff transfers to any job
  • Corpman position is roughly an EMT. and i mean roughly. Yes it is similar, but not equivalent. Intelligence is a good career thatll give u opportunites in civilian life. Also Seabee’s. If you go Seabees, you’ll have a good chance at a civil engineering job.
  • I have done well in translating my job to other things but I was lucky and really good at it.
    The other successful guys that I have seen and known signed up for logistics. Not super exiting for sure. But applicable later for working in any organization later. In any organization one needs to eventually hit management.
  • All jobs in the Navy can carry over to a civilian career! When and if you go to MEPS and you choose a job they will give you that job sheet and it will have a list of jobs that you can do in the civilian world with the training you received. Also the best thing to remember is go to college while you are in the Navy and get a SOCNAV degree. That’s a degree that coalates(hope I spelled that right) with the job you do in the Navy.

  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    I’m going to school to become an LPN. You have more opportunities, better money and flexibility. Girl, you will have it made in the shade when you get your degree. I know I will =)
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    There are more CNA jobs than there are LPN jobs, but LPN’s make more money. Both require schooling, CNA is a short training program, and LPN is a 2 year college program. CNA’s take a state registry test to get certified and LPN sit for state test to get licensed.

    A CNA does really most all of the labor in nursing homes and hospitals, but LPN’s are higher in the chain of command than CNA’s. There is only one thing lower than them and they are trained NA’s! If your going to go to school in nursing, become a CNA first. It doesn’t take that long and it looks good to add that to your resume or something when you apply for school to study LPN. LPN’s do lots of paper work and record everything. They don’t totally have to do what CNA’s do but then again… even they have to do work sometimes. CNA’s and NA’s do all the heavy duty lifting, thankless feeding, turning, toileting, showering and all that fun stuff. I didn’t hate being a CNA, but along with the good days were the bad days!
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    some places are phasing out lpns and it is hard as any new grad to obtain employment in a medical field without previous medical experience. CNAs make very little money and it is back breaking work. Some nursing homes are hiring CNAs and will actually put you through a CNA program of their own design for free. I figured that because of the “nursing shortage” that it would be fairly easy for me to obtain a job after I graduated, but most places are saying they want one year of experience before they will hire a new grad. and there are many many many people looking for jobs everywhere. i guess it depends on where you are living. depending on your academic goals, and your location, you should also see how long the waiting lists are to get into whatever program you are looking for because many nursing programs have looooong waiting lists

    LPN, more money and more opportunities, you will also be able to work a more flexible schedule, such as a weekend Baylor in which you would work 2–12 hour shifts on Sat/Sun and get paid for 36 hours.

    Allow me to answer your question with a few questions and hopefully you can find the answer you are looking for on your own.
    1. Do you want to make a career out of the military? If you do then how the job you will be doing applies to the civilian world is of little consequence.
    2. What do you see yourself doing in 10 years? Do you have an “idea” of what you want to do with your life, if so you can drastically narrow your focus.
    3. Do you want a mentally demanding job or a physically demanding job? The more mentally demanding a job chances are you can apply what you learn across a broad spectrum of fields, the more physically demanding the less opportunity you may have.
    I ask because the Navy has way too many job fields to list and explain here. Do a little research see what catches your eye and think about where you want to be in ten years, then come back here and pose your question again with a narrower focus and I guarantee you will get some fantastic info and useful opinions.
