Civilian

Anyone transitioned from consulting to FBI special agent? Manager here. Is it a plausible option? The role has always been in the back of my head and on paper it seems like a lot of the skills would transfer. Probably naive, but hoping I’d find more meaning in it, making the pay cut worth it. I see FBI recruiting videos about diversity of backgrounds but not sure how real that is—I’m not former military or LE (though I do shoot competitively as a civilian, for whatever that’s worth.)

Anyone here who has worked as an Air Force flight attendant? Aside from the military training, how different is the experience from its civilian counterpart?

Recently switched career fields while coming out of the Air Force into the civilian work with the primary reason of: people in my standard desk job didn't care about performance. I switched into a field that I am naturally very good at, technician/engineering roles. In this role I found people "care" about being good but they typically are never right about who is good or who is bad and it is actually just as much of a political nightmare as it was processing papers. How do I escape this?

I'll be retiring soon. What are the best civilian jobs to transfer to once?
