Finding a new career after you leave the military can be a daunting task. There are many things to consider including where to live and the job market in that area, educational requirements for particular positions, the minimum income you need to support yourself and your family, and more. In this episode of the Dog Tag, our host, Matt Elledge, talks about employment opportunities for Veterans with Stan Kurtz, Director of Veterans Employment Services, and Shawn Deabay, Director of Program Operations at the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC). They will discuss the importance of having a plan and understanding your career goals, so you can find an organization that's a good fit for you. Whether you're still serving in the military, or you've been a Veteran for a while, it's never too early, or too late, to start thinking about your post-military career!
