Civilian Job Suggestions

Maintenance Technician -- Buildings require constant maintenance, whether it's the plumbing, electricity or any other miscellaneous issue that can crop up. Maintenance technicians make sure that a building, whatever its function, is operational around the clock and serves its designated function.

Mechanic -- Anyone who loves working with cars and fixing problems should consider becoming a mechanic. Identifying issues, creating solutions and ultimately fixing a car can be very satisfying. This job requires extensive knowledge about the workings of automobiles and a knack for working with machinery.

Fabricator -- Creating raw and basic construction materials requires a great degree of skill and diligence. No matter how benign or simple the end result may seem, any error might ruin entire batches of product. The job isn't just about heavy lifting or pushing buttons: it requires careful monitoring, testing and calibration.
