Biff, if you read a my previous post, I said retired military don't have transferrable or in-demand skills. Hence, airline pilot.
Gotta go back to school to start another career. Managing a school schedule is possible with some seniority.
When did I say I would tell someone how to run their billing dollar company? That said, I do think there are some pretty creative and intelligent minds in military leadership. Problem is the lack of tangible business experience-finance, marketing, supply chain, etc. I have an MBA from a pretty good school, but it's meaningless. I have no business experience and that became pretty clear to me when I went job seeking as I transitioned out of the military.
All that leadership experience and "executive education" got me a seniority number at a regional. Correct, military does not translate to a lucrative career other than pilot at a major.
