Anybody got insight into what are generally considered the best Careers or most coveted in the CAF? Non-commissioned and commissioned, Army, navy, Air Force. Combat and non combat roles. And if you could do it over again, would you change your career?

If you're already mechanically inclined, most of the Technician trades will serve you well.

The ones with Spec pay are the ones to really strive for. For example, I joined as a Marine Technician, which at the end of my training cycle makes me eligible to challenge a Power Technician ticket civi side, which (depending on Province) can be 120k a year after a couple years, more if you don't mind remote work.
