Basically, these military heroes were looking for “normal work”.  What was at the expo was mostly military like jobs with guns and the possibility of shooting and killing people.  Many of the applicants were disappointed in the jobs available and one even stated that he would rather be a janitor than to go back to that kind of lifestyle.

One quote from the article was interesting:

“A lot of students from the military contact us because they finally have some money to go to school with,” said Billijo Brown, assistant director of admissions for The Art Institute of California in San Francisco. “They want to be able to use it to do something they love.”

For Veterans that are looking for a more flexible career, truck driving might be a route to go.  Truck Driving Schools are a great way to start a new life in a non-military job.  One school that I know of that would be a great fit for military heroes is the CR England Truck Driving School.  It is the top refrigerated trucking company in the country.  And, once you graduate, you have a job.  If there is no funding for schooling, CR England will give you a loan that you can have slowly taken out of your check once you have graduated and are working for CR England Trucking.   They have a great school and curriculum that prepares you well for the road.  Check it out and see if it works for you.
