My sister went through job corp and she's a CNA now. She said it's a good program and teaches valuable job skills. The best field to get into is medicine or truck driving but there are other choices just as well paying and are excellent career choices. You get an allowance and free food. room, and there are good instructors. You should go in now because you're already 24. Have you considered joining the military?

Sure! Tell your recruiter that you want 7 female roommates, one for each day of the week (have him put it in you enlistment contract). Then tell him to have Willy Wonka pick up you and your happy little harum every day after your afternoon tea (Prior to your afternoon nap) in the Magic Bus for a trip to the chocolate factory. After you finish nuclear physisist school and graduate as a fleet enema... I mean, admiral, you can be assigned as the joy officer on the Good Ship Lollipop when it sets sail for the Land Of Oz, with ports of call in Xanadu and NeverNeverLand. It'll all work if you ingest a lot of illicit hallucinogenics, Peter Pan!

Maybe in the military?

Many do not understand that, like you do.  I'm actually in the military now, serving in the Army and stationed in Afghanistan for the next year.  It's great to hear about your support for the military >^.^<

I enjoyed my time as a Marine, I miss it and would love to go back but I have a family and cannot leave them for extended periods. If you join the US military you will be gone for extended periods and you will go to war. Since you do not have a spouse the development of your children could be compromised. I would tell you to stay home and raise your kids.

That is certainly a decision that you and your family need to do some serious thinking about.  My husband, and I were also in the military, so I know how hard it can be when you are deployed.\n\nDo you know what you will do when you get out?\nWill you have to serve another tour over in Iraq?  How long will it be?\nWould you like to make a career out of the military?\nThere is a lot more information that I would need to know, and how you feel about them, before I feel like I could give any amount of decent advice on it.\n\nThank you for your service to our country!

i dont know where you want to proceed in your career after you get your degree,but ive got a lot of friends in the army,the national guard,and other branchs as well that got their training in the millitary and love every sec of it.I mean they get to travel the world, or stay close to home like the national guard or reserves.Plus once you get out the millitary you have one of the highest recomemdations of all.Right now you may think im a recuriter or something ,but in fact im not im a regular soldier in the national guard.My mos is millitary police.Currently im a security guard,ive already been accepted for the police dept but choose not to take the job until i turn 21.i stay close to home(20 min)and im very happy with the way i got my job and training.

Hey!  I just graduated massage therapy school here in Ohio , and I will be taking the state medical board exam in June, since massage is regulated by the state medical board here.  Once licensed, I will be going into private practice and my income will be $55 - $60 per hour, which after taxes is still good money.  I have never been so happy either - massage is a great field to get into with tons of opportunities for employment.  If you enjoy caring for people I strongly recommend a career in massage therapy!  If you wanna talk or need anything massage related just e-mail me!  Good luck!

I EAS'ed in May, 2005.  I am currently finsihing college and have a very nice beard.  My time is my own and I do what I wish (no training days, no formations, no JOB/wall locker inspections.  I "PT" more than I did when I was in, but now it is because I want to, not because I have to.  I was an MP and worked about 60+ hours a week.  It is great being a civilian.....EXCEPT I really miss it.  For everything I hated about the Corps, I am now finding there is something I Love and now miss.  My wife and I have no medical insurance, no BAH, nothing.  The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I know.  But I seriously am considering getting back in (but probably OCS).  \nDo whatever you wish, but please take into consideration all that I have mentioned, and more, if you have not already.  Or course, if you do get out, you can always go back.

Unfortunately nowadays...it is VERY difficult for them to let go. I got a General Discharge under Honorable conditions while being activated under the Army reserves. My best advice is to get out if you are not deployed. Fail PT tests or gain weight. If you are deployed it will be that much harder...It will take time, but if you don't mind it is possible. Seek for a medical discharge or you have to file a claim against their beleifs...something like you are against war and can not be in the Army beacuse of your religion. It will take time, but it will be worth it. GOOD LUCK!\n...FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND, AND SOMETIMES YOU ARE NOT TOLD THE TRUTH, NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL, HELP WITH SCHOOL, AND THE ACTUAL JOB YOU WOULD BE DOING. I SIGNED UP TO BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST, AND I ENDED UP BEING DEPLOYED FOR POSTAL WORK IN SOME INFANTRY UNIT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF IRAQ. I HAD NO TIME FOR SCHOOL, WHEN I APPLIED FOR VA ASSISTANCE I WAS DENIED, AND MOST OF ALL WHEN I WAS SICK THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID 'WELL YOU LOOK PHYSICALLY OKAY, SO O WELL.' THEY FINALLY LET ME GO, WHEN I SHOWED THEM PROOF OF MY REGUALR DR. AND SAW THAT I WAS NOT OKAY!

I can't tell you where to go. I live in Cali. But it definately isn't a thank-less job. It feels great knowing that you're making such a difference in so many people's lives. The work is very physical and you have to keep your body in good shape, certain muscles and tendons to be specific, or you won't last more than 2 or 3 years due to overuse injuries. Most schools have classes on how to prevent this and what to do to strengthen your body for the job. Another pro is that, at least in Cali, it costs much less for your education than 4 yr colleges. All colleges courses are designed differently, so you'd have to pick a few and look at their programs. They can assist you in which classes to take depending on what route you want to take with massage. yes, there are many. be it for relaxation purposes or a more holistic approach.  Good luck and have fun

Listen bud... I am an Army vet... \n\nFirst, do not listen to agenda driven, uber-liberal peaceniks\n\nSecond, the casualty rate in the Army has been as high in peace time as it has during the Guld War(s)\n\nThird, do not go in with a pre-chosen job or idea. Study for the ASVAB, see what you qualify for. Ask questions of current soldiers. Ask questions to your parents. Ask questions to your pastor or someone you trust. And ask questions of yourself. Then and only then if you feel the benefits outweigh the risks, then do it and choose the job that will also help prepare you for a career outside the Army. **By this I mean that an infantry man is prepared for what job when he gets out? Look to learn a job you like that means more on the outside as well. Not that I am knocking the infantry, but if you can do better, do better.**

I agree, with a collage degree you can go as far as you want. Getting out of the service, after four to six years as a gunner or riflemen. There's only one place for those men to go and that's the police force. i know there's allot more training in the military and jobs, But this puts you in charge of your own fate and give yourself a chance to live that life.\n\nFor any young adult out there, please take note of whats being said here. Go to collage and give yourself a chance to reach the potential you dream of.\n\nTake Care

join the marines if you want to, nothing bad about that. realize, you will be put into harms way and at times it will suck, but at times it was worth it.

At least six months before I left the military, and before graduating college, I started hitting the job search pretty hard.  If you want to have a job lined up very shortly after discharge, you need to be aggressive.

College first. You have a better job of going places in the military with a college degree
