[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d support it wholeheartedly. We are a service-oriented family full of nurses, teachers, firefighters, police officers, and military officers. The expectation for our children is that you pick a college degree and career path that serves the greater good. [/quote] Elitist and tacky. [/quote] I think denigrating service professions like the military or those listed above is elitist and tacky. This thread (heck, this website) is full of that mindset. [/quote] My parents were both enlisted and so was my DH. They struggled financially until they got out and went into the private sector. If you want the Armed Forces as a career, the officer route is the way to go. If you want to enlist for four years as an experience, before college is fine. This is the advice for my kids. YMMV.[/quote]
