Thinking of joining the armed forces?

[Oakenfold]

Here's the deal, I'm in my last year of school, 24, and married.
I still want to pursue more education after I finish my Bachelors in Business Admin, hopefully an MCSE or some other certification, I dont' want to take out any more loans and I figure the military has all those deals for school.

I've gotten stuff in the mail from the Armed forces about getting paid while still be in college, this would be great if I could
quit my current job to focus on school for the remainder of my senior year. Has anyone tried this or found out if it's a sham or what?
Just looking for thoughts and opinions here that are constructive.

I know my age is right about at the cut off point so I'm at a cross road if I ever want to take advantadge of this.
Thanks in advance!

Oh and does anyone know if they have positions for people that are computer nerds and want to learn about network administration?

It's not a sham, but once you graduate you are committed to a certain amount of time. My old roommates did the Army ROTC program and upon graduation they are committed to 4 years of service.

Don't enlist.
If you want a head start on a good career think about going into Officer's Training. It requires a Bachelor's degree so you're already ahead of the game. There is a minimum commitment, I think it is four years.
