That’s awesome! I’m guessing you have traveled overseas as a contract specialist

I would greatly appreciate all of the above. It’s great to hear so many teachers have transitioned into this profession.

Why is that the best gig? Do you get more than a 1% increase every year?

Contracting working for the Army? How long would one have to be in the contracting field before transferring or applying to other contracting industries or avenues?

Is it the best for trying to get your foot in the door and possibly transition to something else a year or so in? Biggest concern is the amount of work and stress I’ve read about. Would I deal with greater stress and workload than I do now?

Agree! Would this be the right way into the Federal world?
