The Electrician Mate (EM) and Electronic Technician for ET for short are awesome jobs in the Navy. I worked alongside many a ET when I was in the Marines underway on a couple of ships my first deployment. It is also a job that you can earn college credit for really easy and correlates well to the outside job market.

You have better luck asking on some military forums. Not immigration related..

My husband was an electronic's Tech in the USAF.  He now does the same job for the govt in the FAA.  So it's a job that transfers outside of the military but there's not a huge call for it. 

Electrican's jobs would transfer very well IMO. 

 

Other job types that transfer well are anything plumbing or HVAC related.

Its a good job I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy, pay is not based on the job though it is based on other factors primarily paygrade....there is other pay if you are deployed or separated from family, for food, housing called BAH.. just depends on the situation and what benefits the military spouse qualifies for. 

[NikLR 13,220]

You get BAH regardless... all military are paid a rate for housing and food, plus free healthcare.

Being an EM, you will be in the Engineering Department, and work can be extensive at times, especially with watch standing!  I'm an HT (Hull Technician), been in the Navy nearly 12 years.  EM is a good rate, and the training will definitely help you in the civilian world, whether you choose to stay in only 4 years or 20 or more years.  Best of luck!!
