DEAR READERS: I recently left for a business trip and realized I left my cell phone at home. I suddenly found myself transported back to the 1980s, when society somehow lived without the means of instant communication. Our insatiable appetite for smaller, faster wireless devices translates into amazing career opportunities for transitioning military – even those who don't have a four-year college degree. Of the five veterans on the cover of this month's G.I. Jobs, only two have four-year degrees. Yet they all found great careers in the thriving world of telecom, where employment in the wireless industry alone is expected to grow 14 percent through 2024. Have a look at the list of Hot Jobs for Veterans in Telecom on pag- es 18 and 19 and see if any of them might be your civilian dream job. This month for the first time we explore career opportunities for transitioning military in the world's largest industry: agriculture, food and related businesses. In addition to the hot jobs, you'll meet three post-9/11 veterans who work in this industry for companies like Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland. On page 14, you can read the story of an Army veteran who hauls livestock on the backroads of Amer- ica's Midwest. And in the education section, you'll read about a Green Beret medic who's now in medical school studying to become a doctor and a former Army armor instructor now working on his master's degree in counseling so he can continue to make a difference in the world. You joined the military to make a difference. For 15 years we've been helping post-9/11 veterans find ways to continue to make a difference in the civilian sector. Visit GIJobs.com for unlimited resources such as the Mother of All Transition Guides.
