What MOS do you think would benefit a Soldier the most in civilian life? What branch for officers? Why?

Based on over 20 years of post-retirement employment, I say:
Enlisted--information technology, aircraft mechanic, deisel/auto mechanic, transportation management, combat medic/EMT, firefighters, security and law enforcement.
Officer--information technology, ORSA, acquisition & contracting, financial analysts, transportation, logistics management.

What if you had to chose only one for each, officer and enlisted?

Not to sound biased, but 15 series MOSs make really good money on the outside, especially when working for a government contractor like Dyncorp.

For officers, it is hard to say, but finance or intelligence would be good areas, I believe. Obviously, the officers on here would be better help than me on that subject.
