Whether you want to be a career officer or prepare for a great job after the Army, a doctorate degree, or PhD, will help you get there. Officers in the highest echelons of the military frequently have PhDs, and PhD holders in the civilian sector typically earn more and enjoy better career opportunity than those with bachelor's and master's degrees alone. What's more, earning a doctorate shows your superiors that you have both the drive and the discipline to better yourself and your leadership skills. There are even a number of online PhD programs that accommodate your busy military lifestyle. Some of the most military-friendly industries include health care, business, education, engineering and technology.
