Career Advice: Medical Lab Tech to...?

Hello /sci/entists,
Long story short I am a Medical Laboratory Technician in the U.S. Army. I've earned my ASCP MLT certification and all. No degree, but about 60 college credits and my certification.
I have about a year and a half on my current enlisted contract and I definitely want to GET OUT.
When I ETS I will be able to earn a (mostly) paid for bachelor's degree with the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill...
The only issue is that I am not quite sure what I should study for both maximum career safety [post-automation, in good and bad economic times, etc.] and monetary gain.
My MLT certification, experience and college credits could potentially lead to careers in Medical [Nursing, Physician Assistant, Pathologist's Assistant, Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Bloodbanking Technologist], Sciences [Bioengineering, Biomedical Scientist, etc.] and other such careers.
What say you? Much obliged.
