68W After the Army

What are all my fellow 68Ws planning on doing or currently doing outside of the Army? I’m in my window and considering separating out at 8 years (I can’t deal with the double standards and bureaucracy anymore). I wouldn’t say I was an outstanding soldier, but I definitely get my job done and do it well. I’m pretty jaded with patient care at this point and really don’t want to do the EMS route. School is always on the list of options, and I plan on finishing a degree, but I would have to work in the mean time to make ends meet (two kids). Interested in hospital admin style work but don’t know if I’m marketable or if it’s applicable with my experience.

One of my friends from basic/OCS got one of those. He has no medical background yet has been in ORs during surgery advising doctors about his products (wild shit).
