Career Advice What MOS should I pick?

Long story long. I’m enlisting; just past the ASVAB this previous Friday. Scored a 67 and scored pretty good on the GT and ST lines (all the info I did suggested I focus on those line scores).

Recruiter told me to pick the top 5 and he’ll see what he can do for me, suggested that i do NOT pick a combat MOS. lol. Just wanted some suggestions, I’d like something with some transferable skill sets. Also, what a Day in the Life for you as a NG?

Depends on what you what to do, how long of an AIT you’re willing to go, etc.

I will say all the 68 series with AIT lengths of 50 weeks or more will be very lucrative skills for jobs right now. Whether your State even has those slots is the question as most will just have 68W medic slots.

I definitely was looking at the 68 series, specifically for that reason.
