College or US Naval Academy

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

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.
