I work as a recruiter for a Big Ten University (The University of Iowa) and I perform outreach to veteran job seekers.
I often get a response back that individuals feel they are not qualified to work at a University because they do not have a degree. The perception being that we are only looking for professors/instructors.
So here is a snap shot of working at a University, and why you should consider applying.
Think of a university in terms of a military base. They are big, and there is a lot of support and logistics involved. Our University has police officers, a "quartermaster & supply" chain, a hospital which offers a large number of medical positions, power plants (Navy Guys that have worked with the Boilers & Chillers may want to take a look) not to mention a large array of project management positions involving Construction to Marketing.
So I invite Veterans and those transitioning to explore what jobs are available, as we may just have the right role for you.
The benefits are great and the work environment is phenomenal.

I would like to add that public school districts are also entities looking for skills other than teaching. There is a large support component to running a school district, from facilities maintenance to transportation to food service.
