If I were to advise someone in high school what to do with their lives, I think this is what I would tell them...
First, learn what you can in high school but have fun as well.
Second, join the Air Force after graduation and as soon as you can after you become designated with a skill, start taking college classes...
NOTE: If you are in the Air Force, your likelihood of being sent to any war zone is next to nothing
Third, plan on remaining in the Air Force for 20-24 years...
Fourth, plan to have received a BA and MA degrees (perferrably in Education) by the time you leave the Air Force.
NOTE: if you are 18 years of age when you graduate from high school, you will be only 38 years old after serving 20 years or 42 if you stay for 24 years.
Fifth, relocate in a Southern State and try to find employment at a Community College while you pursue a PhD in Education.
NOTE: Plan to work at this Community College for another 20 years or until you are 67 years old and can return with full Social Security Benefits.
So, you are now 67/70 years old and you are living in the South where is cos of living is lower than most other State and you are receiving 3 sources of retirement income:
- 20+ years from military
- 20+ years from Community College
- Full Benefits from Social Security (because you worked 40 quarters or 10 years that your paid FICA)
