Which would be a better education?The USNA or a college.Because im working on the Naval academy,but a few minutes ago I was looking at some computer and technical design colleges.The USNA can be all paid for if I make it,but a college can be pretty darn expensive.my older sister told me I should go with the USNA but I just want to know which would be better?
personally I wish I went through any kind of military discipline, discipline will teach you to be a successful team leader and follow through your goals and discipline yourself. I hardly every get disturbed im too relaxed with myself and my life and my way or living, which is not good, having discipline teaches you to create goals and follow through to achieving them. being relaxed doesnt give you ambition to progress. forurself your career or your family. so it depends of what kinda person you are.
im not saying join either, im saying follow what your heart tells you too, but take a long hard look at urself and what your soul sways to and follow through. if you think you need it then the navy it is. if you have enough push, motivation, ambition and discipline already then college it is.
good luck!

Already sent you an email, but the USNA requires 5 years of naval service after you are done with your degree. Are you really comfortable living with your parents still? If you decide to go with the Navy it would be 9 total years of someone else looking over your shoulder. You wouldn't really be stepping out "on your own" until you are nearly 27 years old. Are you comfortable with that? Also depending on the program you go into I have heard of officers complaining that they never developed any skills in the military beacuse their job was purely supervision. They never actually worked on the systems, just watched other people do work. Something to consider.
If you are considering the medical or dental field, its a great way to build those pt skills for 5 years with a guaranteed paycheck, housing, per diem for food, spouse and/or children, and free med and dental care. I've seen and heard of a lot of the dentists I worked with (I was enlisted--a dental tech) are out and with thriving practices. Other fields you may want to take the advice of the user above. But med/dental is def 5 full years hands on
