[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is very smart, but was not into school in his teens. [...He enlisted...] He is also the kind of guy who likes to work with his hands and build things. He did electronics and electrical work in the military and started an associates degree while still enlisted. That eventually led to a gov’t contract field and a bachelors in electrical engineering.[/quote]

Neighbor's son similar. He enlisted in USAF and negotiated with the recruiter an agreement that they would train him to be an Aviation Mechanic.  He did well in the training and did well in the USAF as an aircraft mechanic. While in, he got an AS degree. He also was careful to get all the FAA Certificates to be an Aircraft Mechanic. Got out, then made good money as an Aircraft Mechanic for a major airline. Got a 4-year degree part time while working, and leveraging his prior AS degree, then moved into management at the airline.

Has done very very well in life. He just needed a little more time to mature b

(Note: with recruiters, do not sign anything without reading the whole thing and be sure the training one wants is explicitly and clearly written down in the contract. Recruiters often initially say they can't guarantee training, but they will write it into the contract when their quota is low at the end of the quarter. So hold out to get what you want. Electronics Technician also is a good career via the military. )[/quote]
