After riding the National Guard gravy train for the past 10 years I find myself without any military opportunities presenting themselves. My experience is in flying helicopters, but those jobs are very location dependent and not very many are presenting themselves where I live.

From people I've spoken with, getting CDL seems like a good way to find employment as shipping companies are always hiring. Or, my thought was, looking into becoming an electrician as it seems that that is an in demand skill that won't destroy your body the way that other construction jobs will.

So, any insight into either career would be appreciated.

Basically, pros-cons, how much training is required, and what does a typical career look like in either field?

Thanks for the responses!

Luckily an EMS job opened up near me and I'm in the final stages of being hired on there, so pretty fortunate. I'm just worried about being in an all or nothing situation, but I suppose a lot of people have to deal with that.
