Opportunities in military and protective services depend heavily on public sector budgets that may not be flexible and are expected to decline slightly in the future. Pay scales rely heavily on time in service and are less performance-based, but public sector benefits and pensions are often attractive. Protective services roles are also an opportunity for military veterans looking to transition into civilian roles. Education requirements in this field vary, although many entry-level jobs don't require any qualifications.
