While I agree that the military is a viable choice for getting an education it is not the only choice. I spent 6 years in the Navy and got some terrific training while in there that carried me over until i completed my education with the aid of tuition assistance (GI BILL) after discharge. There was a time that I was working full time going to school full time and managed to be a Scout leader on the side. My company was giving me tuition assistance in addition to what I was getting from the Navy. There are many large companies and I'm sure Good Year is one of them that gives tuition assistance to employees.
I believe some of you are putting undue pressure insisting that Genny must be in College or she will not get ahead. There are many many paths to a good education and it doesn't have to happen right now. There are also some very good paying careers that DO NOT require a College education. You need to check out the top paying jobs for the future and none of them require a degree. My son has a degree but is doing a job that he trained himself to do and it pays more than he can make with his degree. The medical field or computers/internet will be the best fields to consider in our new world.
