Robertson  \nSt. John’s University  \nRobert K. Eschenauer  \nSt. John’s University  \nThe college-to-career transition of student veterans is challenging. Employers hold misconceptions of veteran employees, such as inflexibility or rigidity, while veterans struggle to demonstrate their skills to an employer (Davis & Minnis, 2017) . There is research on the military-to-college transition process, primarily on the academic adjustment of college student veterans (Bauman, 2009; Burnett & Segora, 2009; Darcy, Swagger, & Cordiero Ferreira, 2018; Green & Hayden, 2013; Kirchner, 2015; Rumann & Hamrick, 2010; Wheelus & Boes, 2015) . Research on college-to-career transition process of college student veterans is limited, and focused on career decision making (Hayden, Ledwith, Dong, & Buzzetta, 2014; Ryan, Carlstrom, Hughey, & Harris, 2011) . To examine the college-to-career transition process, we surveyed student veterans (N = 141) to examine career transition resources and barriers, in relation to their overall life satisfaction. We found that student veterans’ confidence and readiness for the college-to-career transition correlated to overall life satisfaction. We provide strategies to assist individuals working with student veterans during the career transition process, and advocate for career-transition research focused on student veterans.  \nPlease direct inquires about this manuscript to: Heather C. Robertson, [robertsh@stjohns.edu](robertsh@stjohns.edu)  \nCollege Student Affairs Journal, Volume 38(1), pp. 53-64 ISSN 2381-2338  \nCopyright 2020 Southern Association for College Student Affairs All rights of reproduction in any form reserved.  \n53 College Student Affairs Journal Vol. 38, No. 1, 2020  \nS  \ntudent veterans enrolled in higher education programs represent diverse students with various educational and  \noccupational goals. These students may include active duty, those separated from the military, those in the Reserves or National Guard, retirees, and those who served, yet don’t identify as veterans. They may encompass students who are stationed in the U.S. or deployed abroad, as well as students taking classes online, in-person, or in hybrid format. According to the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics (NCVAS), the number of Veterans Administration (VA) Education Beneficiaries has grown from just under 400,000 in the year 2000 to over one million in 2016, demonstrating 150% growth in 16 years (NCVAS, 2018) . Despite the large numbers of student veterans enrolling in college, research examining student veterans’ college-to-career transiton experience is limited, compared to research examining military-to-college transition.  \nVacchi (2012) defines student veterans as,“any student who is a current or former member of the active duty military, the National Guard, or Reserves regardless of deployment status, combat experience, legal veteran status, or GI Bill use” (Vacchi, 2012, p. 17) . The term student veteran will be used throughout the manuscript to describe those identified in Vacchi’s definition. This study did not include military spouses or dependents. The study aimed to explore the student veterans’ perspective of their college-to-career transition process, and to understand the resources and barriers that facilitate the transition.  \nLiterature Review  \nMilitary Students on Campus  \nStudent veterans on college campuses face administrative, academic, and social challenges. Identified challenges include delayed academic progress (Rumann & Hamrick, 2010), and advisors not recognizing student veteran struggles (Ryan, Carlstrom, Hughey, & Harris, 2011) . Student veterans  \nwith a disability may experience mental and physical demands (Branker, 2009), stigma of disability (Burnett & Segora, 2009), social adjustment issues, and the need to access support services (Belotti, Laffaye, Weingardt, Fischer, & Schumacher, 2011) .
