I hope so, and I hope you take note of our 2017 Top 25 Hot Jobs for Veterans TM . We evaluated data from more than 200 Military Friendly ® Employers, across industries and across America, to find out what jobs they're recruiting for, what they pay and what you need to know to get hired. If you're passionate about tech, you've come to the right place, as nearly one-third of our Hot Jobs are computer-related. Or, maybe you like the idea of hands-on work or being outdoors. Those kinds of jobs are well-represent- ed on our list, too. We highlight careers in the automotive, construction, air- craft, welding, electrical and trucking industries. And, if you envision yourself in an office driving results, we've got sales, finance, HR, accounting and marketing jobs covered. Our No. 1 Hot Job is Op- erations Manager. I say: Who better to fill that than a veteran with experience in orchestrating the flow of equipment, people, projects and money, sometimes in the billions of dollars? Each of our Top 25 Hot Jobs for Vet- erans TM is vital to our economy, and so are you. Figure out what you'd love to do in the next phase of your career, and use our list as the place to start. Speaking of next phases, one of the things I quickly learned during my move from sailor to civilian is how im- portant it is to have a nest-egg to help pay for unexpected costs—and trust me, there will be some. It isn't easy to to plan for the unexpected, but you can take the important first step of building yourself a buffer. Start today putting aside whatever you can afford each month, whether your separation date is two months or two years away, even if the amount seems too small to make a difference. (It does.) Then, don't stop saving after you get out. Thanks, as always, for reading G.I. Jobs ® and let us know how we can be better for you and all of our veterans. All the best, GETTING OUT?
