So I want to end my service soon after the covid situation is under control as, I have a baby on the way and want them to live a normal life, and be around them as much as possible, so what I am wondering is what's a good career to get into on civy Street with good pay?
How on earth do you expect a sensible answer when you've given nobody anything to go on? After all, a neurosurgeon would be a good career choice and well paid but I suspect you don't have the qualifications or experience to jump straight into that as a career immediately after leaving the army. Do you see where I'm going with this?
You may get some good advice here if you tell us what trade you are, what experience and qualifications you have. Do you want to work in the same area or do you want a complete change in career direction? Have you done any research into your chosen career and understand what the salary is and qualification requirements are for a new starter?
As others have said, the pragmatic choice in the current climate is to stay where you are. I would suggest focusing on promotion and gaining experience and qualifications. Get as many buckshee courses under your belt as possible. Don't be the bloke that drips and whines at everything but get out there and be the bloke that is enthusiastic and reliable instead.
If you have an idea what it is that you'd like to do in the future find out what it is that is required and work towards it. It may be that you need an appropriate university degree, a particular diploma or other paper qualification and if so do those courses. If you require a certain level of practical experience see if you can negotiate some time off to get that experience. Volunteering may help with that.
Let's face it - squaddies leaving the army are ten-a-penny. The same applies for matelots and crabs. Employees have hundreds of applicants to choose from and just because you have served it doesn't mean that you will automatically stroll into your dream job just by dint of having worn the Queen's uniform. You'll be going up against plenty of civvies who are as well if not better qualified than you. Given the effects on employment due to Covid you will be up against a lot more people that may already have years of relevant experience. This is going to have a long-term effect.
How many years have you done? If you've got a fair few under your belt it may be worth hanging on some more and get your immediate pension out of it. It is a great comfort blanket to have some guaranteed income every month and really does help with the bills when times are tough.
Whatever you decide to do have a clear idea of your goals and what is required to achieve them. Don't just leave the mob on a whim and expect everything to land at your feet, all hunky dory. You will have to work and plan for it and that might take a little bit of time and investment.
What is it that you really want to do when you leave the mob? If you can't answer that then don't leave.
