Ebook: Careers in the United States Air Force

A career is about more than dollars and cents. There is a "big picture" to keep in mind when homing in on what you'd like to do when you get out of school. Everybody wants to do something they enjoy. Most people also want to do something that they find meaningful. Most people want to become part of something larger than themselves, too. A career in the United States Air Force can provide you with all of these things. You don't have to be a pilot, either. In fact, relatively few Air Force personnel fly planes. Like all branches of the US military, the Air Force offers hundreds of individual career paths ranging from intelligence analysts and air-traffic controllers to chefs, as well as pilots. The Air Force is a great place to learn a skill and get a start in life or to spend a 20-year career. You will have that choice if you enlist in the Air Force.
