[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't go on to become a general or whatever, what sort of civilian career path is there for an academy graduate?[/quote]
Most graduate from the Academy is with the bachelors of science in an engineering field. Although there are other majors. As an officer in the military, you have a specific career field. It could be communications, could be a logistics, could be supply, could be infantry. After serving the required four year pay back, officers typically can get a career in management almost anywhere.

Do most grads not make the military a career?[/quote]

Some do not.  But some of them do and it depends on many variables.  There are family priorities and life goals that may change your path.  Some people go in thinking they want to fly or whatever they go in for and switch careers.  Some go in and get out to get their masters.  Some use it as a stepping stone for political aspirations.  Some just get out to be closer to family.  There’s a million reasons as with civilians that change paths or jobs. [/quote]

Very few make it a career.  Out of my class of close to 1000 from USNA, about 1/8 stayed for a full 20 years.  A large group gets out after their initial commitment.  [/quote]
