A contract specialist usually develops his or her skills for the job while working for a large organization that engages suppliers in major contractual agreements. Devotion to an organization may precede the decision to become a contract specialist. or, a business student might decide that the communication-oriented nature of contract specialization suits his or her personality. Another person might find that while standard legal careers were disappointing, a career in contract specialization helps bridge the gap between the law, business, and the public sector in ways other occupations cannot possibly do.
Where I Am Now
In relation to the goal of becoming a contract specialist, I am well on my way towards achieving this core career objective. Currently, I am an Army Service member who is becoming familiar with various government-related contractual agreements. The government -- and the military especially -- depends on the private sector. Private sector suppliers of goods and services help the Army and other military organizations to achieve their immediate goals. A contract specialist helps to foster and nurture the symbiotic relationship between the military and its private sector partners. Even if my eventual placement as a contract specialist is not with the United States Army, contract specialists are required in other governmental organizations. I am pursuing a degree in Contracts and Acquisitions. The degree will provide the necessary formal background required to be a contract specialist.

Much of the job entails reading through contracts line by line, deciphering legaleze, and interpreting the contract so that clients and all parties understand their obligations. As Damewood...
