OK, so most of not all of you know that I'll be retiring from the Army in a year (actually, 1 OCT 15, but I will be home on a 50 day vacation next August). Anyway, I'll have my BS in IT with a general concentration in November of this year. I am seriously considering going for my MS in business or management. So my goal when I retire is to land a management job in an IT shop in or near Colorado Springs. Since I have been out of the civilian world for the better part of seven years, what should I do to make myself marketable at the management level? I have of course solid leadership experience in the Army for the better part of 17+ years, and I have previous IT experience as a ColdFusion, PHP, .NET, MySQL and MS SQL Server as a web developer, and my PHP, CF and MySQL skills are still current as I do side jobs for folks. But, I don't want to be a worker bee at the age of 52 when I retire. I know having a degree and leadership experience helps. I am specifically talking about technical skills. I want to make sure I can walk the walk, not just throw out current technology buzzwords in any future interviews I will have.
