I am currently working on my History Degree with TESC. I have seven more tests to go. Now that my twenty year goal is getting close I find myself starting to question, what's next?
I am career military and hope to retire in 2008. I have worked Electronic maintenance the whole time. My next big decision is where to go with my second career. I tried for years to get a Electronics degree and could never get stable with one school long enough. This was before all the online schools and even today the electronics offerings are slim to none.
I decided on a history degree because it was the fastest path to a Bachelor's degree and I do enjoy history. Now my question is what to do with it. I plan on getting my Master's degree in the next three years. However, with a family to support and a upcoming retirement, I still need a viable career oppurtunity. I am leaning towards a position with the government as a historian or teaching. But I am not sure teaching will pay enough of the bills.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I find that this board has helped guide me with the tests, hopefully it will help here.
