Want advice from the military guys

^ the question there would be, was it worth it? If you got to restart from 18 again would you have gone the education way or the military way again?
As far as what i would like to do, architecture is something that i would absolutely love to get into but making 40k a year in an unstable job doesn't seem like a very smart choice and I bet getting a job out of school will not be easy either.

I served in Active Duty for over 20 yrs and proud of it. However, I would never drop out of college and get mine education with full scolarship that I had, but I flushed down the drain.

If you go to college you still have the poortunity to join the ROTC and when you get your degree you can come in as an officer. Anyway I would go with education.

Are you saying an archictecture makes 40K a yr?

Ok here's another thing to consider... Getting a job now
A days as a combat veteran is not easy either. I'm happy I'm retired cause I have been on too many job interviews and they all same the same... "Well you seem to be just right for the job but... Oh wait, you have been in combat I see... Um honestly you may be over qualified for this position". Yea I love hearing that one over and over again. That's why I'm in college now at age 40!

I think you have plenty of opinions of what to do and that's good, so i will give you my opinion of what not to do. Dont join the marine corps, and if for what ever reason you decide the marine corps is for you don't be a grunt.
