I totally forgot to respond to your previous comment on my blog! DERP!
Yes, upon entering the military I am guaranteed a paying job. Depending on how I score with my ASVAB, I can choose my career field. Military will then pay for my schooling! My sis, who has been in the Navy for 4+ years, has a correspondence degree from Univ. of Maryland. I believe it is her Bachelor's degree. She's in the Military Police, so her field of study is criminology. After finishing up with school and the Navy she can opt into a program run by the FBI or some jazz like that. The Navy will keep paying for her schooling, too!
Hearing about all of that ish, I think I drooled a little bit. Free school? Kickass job and benefits? Off-base living allowance? I won't mind purging all my belongings 'cause I'll be able to afford suh-weet new ones!
What is stopping me is, every friend that I had that joined with the military, either came back completely screwed up, or didn't come back at all. I also don't really agree with the reasons we are overseas and fighting right now, so to join something that I wouldn't agree with doesn't make sense to me. =[
