Hands-on electronics, mechanical (trucks, planes, refrigeration) plumbing, are useful, teachable skills, to name just a few. That sort of experience is great for a teacher to share with his or her students. Sometimes the experience can weigh equally to an earned degree/certificate for teacher credentialing. As a technical school administrator, I found hiring a veteran to be satisfying on many levels, and those hands-on skills were very important to us. The discipline that comes with military training is also attractive, as that discipline is respected by students, co-workers and other members of an educational institution.
