Transitioning out of the military presents a set of high-stakes decisions that can shape your long-term career trajectory. Should you pursue an MBA? Enter industry directly? Leverage SkillBridge or bridge roles? Or take a more intentional pause to reset and explore?
This session provides a framework to evaluate the most common post-service pathways and determine which option best aligns with your goals, financial considerations, risk tolerance, and long-term vision. Rather than prescribing a single “right” path, this workshop equips you with tools to think strategically about your transition and move forward with clarity and confidence.
What You’ll Learn
- The core tradeoffs between MBA programs, direct-to-industry roles, SkillBridge/bridge options, and strategic sabbaticals
- Financial and opportunity cost considerations across different pathways
- How to align your choice with long-term leadership, income, and lifestyle goals
Who This Is For
- Service members within ~24 months of transition
- Veterans considering a pivot or graduate school
- Those feeling uncertain between multiple strong options
You’ll leave with a clearer framework for evaluating your options and approaching your transition with greater intentionality.
