Hello All,
I am really enjoying my internship down at the Capital. However, I am in the process of figuring out what my next step is career wise and, well the economy sucks! I have been looking for jobs and really haven't found a large market for a 17 year old with no experience in any field except for alfalfa.
So I was considering all my possibilities and found that I have all the qualifications to become a US Marine Officer (assuming I pass their tests etc). So what is your opinion? I would only sign up for 4 maybe 5 years and the pay starts at 40 Gs. Is that a good idea?
Thanks
