I'm currently a Firstie at USMA, and am closing in on the day in which I must input my branch preferences.
There are many factors I am weighing in putting in my branch preferences: how much I think I will like the job, the posts and units I will likely be able to go to should I go to the branch, the military schools I will be able to attend, etc.
Among the factors I am weighing is how the branch will set me up for civilian success. This is not the only factor or the most important one, but it is definitely a factor I am considering in my decision. I am heavily considering leaving the Army after my 5 year commitment to get an MBA. Should I decide to leave when the time comes, I'd like to go to a top 7 school if possible, and my GPA at West Point is comparable to other people that have been admitted to these top schools.
What branches will put me in the best position to build a resume that will be looked favorably upon by MBA admissions boards?
Also of note, I don't have an interest in cyber, or other branches that require technical skills that could lead to civilian jobs in those fields. If I become a civilian after 5 years, I don't intend to use any of the technical skills that I learned in the Army.
