Going to College

 When I graduated from high school, my parents it clear that going to college was my only course of action.  So, I went to college, left two and a half years later, entered the military, then returned to college after my two-year obligation.

I received bachelor's and master's degrees and worked for 45 years in and around education, some of that time was spent teaching.

Looking back, I wish I had never gone to college but enlisted in the Air Force, learned a technical trade, retired after twenty years, and started a second career at thirty-eight, and retired from that one at fifty-eight, where I could have begun a third career, retiring at seventy-eight.

Even if I had not the desire for three careers, two retirement programs and forty years of savings would have put me into a great retirement position.

The Air Force and the Navy are the two branches of the military that have the best training programs that you can use as a civilian.

Going this route, you would encounter no student loans that you would have to pay back for the rest of your career.

Think about this option because having to pay back student loans, and losing your job because of robots can be devastating for you.
