[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USNA consistently produces the highest earners, if that matters.  It's a top notch education, and the alumni connections are insane.  (DH is an academy grad).  They hire each other like nothing I've ever seen, not even w/the Ivies.

He graduated in the late 90s, served as a Marine Officer, got out, went to a FAANG and is now a CEO at another tech company.

It's a good path to med school, they'll pay for everything.  Have several friends that did that, and did their residencies and time in service at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

I would take a lot of what you're going to get on here with a grain of salt.  DCUM really skews weirdly that way.[/quote]

This is interesting, thank you for responding with real world experience (unlike others who clearly don’t). As a very focused athlete and strong student from a strict high school environment, my dc is not worried about the discipline and the lifestyle, but he IS worried about being called for active combat, as I’m sure many are when entering this field. I don’t have an answer to that really. None of my relatives who were in the military (officers, not enlisted) came particularly near active combat, but maybe they just got lucky, idk. And I appreciate that’s part of the deal. [/quote]
