What Are The Highest Paying Vet Jobs Near Me?



When we are starting a new life after serving in the military, most of us want to find something to do near our loved ones. Sometimes we would consider relocating if we find a job that we love, but most of the time we would start our new civilian life by searching “vet jobs near me” in Google or other search engines to find the one that best matches our skills set and our interests, but also lets us stay in or near our area.

That’s why we thought it would be useful to compile a list of jobs for veterans with a high-paying salary that can be found almost anywhere in the US.

1.Operations Manager

2.Nurse Practitioner

A nurse practitioner is a licensed clinician who can administer certain types of treatments without the need to consult a doctor. They focus on managing health conditions and preventing diseases and specialize by types of patients or patient population such as gerontological, pediatric, women’s health, oncological, and others.

Many of those who have served have had experience and training in first aids and other on-field medical practices, this means that they already have experience in providing healthcare under extraordinary circumstances. If this fits your profile, you should probably consider getting a certification as a nurse practitioner.

Cyber Security Experts make anything between 130K and over 200K, and if you aim for the CISO positions, this number can increase to nearly 400K.

4.Human Resources Manager

A Human resources manager or director, depending on the size of the company, can lead various departments that are in charge of hiring, training, and dealing with all other matters such as administrative functions related to a company’s employees.
