Should i join the military to help pay for college?
Question:
Answer:
I don't think that's a question any of us can answer.
How do you feel about spending four years in the military? It's certainly noble. I'm a huge supporter of our military but it is not a career decision for everyone.
Have you talked to a recruiter yet about your options in the Military? What schooling they'll provide? You'll have some options on what field you can get military training in during your years in the Navy. You need to find out what they are.
We are currently in a war. The Navy is a big part of that. It is something you need to seriously consider.
Do some soul searching. Talk to a recruiter. Talk to other people you trust. Talk to some people that have been in the Navy or other branches of the Military. You can get some great training there and hopefully will even be able to get some courses in Meteorology while you're in the Navy.
You should practise with your father or uncles and further pay and income for studies, it is unwise for a family student to get into army, it could have any effects your father tells or warns you about, sorry there. It can be bearing of fortitude instead of relaxed professionalism, which you might want as an attorney or phisician.
It is possible to get into the military, any branch, and have them pay for some college. Even your training will count towards college credit, BUT, getting a meteorologist job in the military is hard, and unless you go in with the job guaranteed, you'll probably be disappointed when you get picked for some other crappy job. Talk to a recruiter and ask about your options.
If you do go in, make sure you sign up for the GI Bill, where you put in $1200 over the course of your first year, but after two years of service, you'll have racked up the interest of that money that you can use for college.
