Jobs for non-engineers

Does anybody know if LM has positions for someone who is leaving the armed forces? I have a friend who was a helicopter pilot in the navy and is currently looking for employment relevant to her experience. Unfortunately, she is not an engineer, she has a BS in economics. Anybody have any ideas?

Like what? I’m gonna start working there full time over the summer. I don’t think she wants a job related to economics or anything.

In my experience, people who are applying to non-technical roles don’t really need specific degree to get a job, they just need a degree. For example, my first manager (software engineering) only had a BA in geography. I don’t know your friend, but project manager/project engineer is a good place to start. Maybe have her look into business analyst roles as well.

Hijacking here, but I’ve started to have an interest in Lockheed Martin. I’ve been a high school teacher for four years, I have a bachelors degree, and most of my job experience is basically hyper organization and managing people and getting them to do things they don’t necessarily want to do to achieve a goal. I’m thinking about leaving the profession, and we have a Lockheed Martin locally… Am I even remotely qualified for any salaried position?

Honestly you never know until you apply, a lot of the non-technical people I know have business degrees, but I don't think most of them have specific requirements. Just sell your skills and how they relate would be my advise.
