James is right. Truly the best way to go is to get a college education up front if that is for you, and use that as your stepping stone to a better paying career, wheather that be military or civilian. Having a degree will lead you to higher paying jobs no matter what field you choose. We all have to follow our own dreams and just do the best that we can. I still see even today some of these young punks complaining about how rough they have it, because they do not have the right opportunities to jumpstart their carrer dreams, but that is just plain lazyness on their part plain and simple.

There are litterally thousands of opportunities that can make you rich or propel you into financial security if you do your homework and make the effort to do something productive with your life. I grew up in the projects and I could not wait to get out of that environment and make something out of my life. Most of the guys I grew up with from that place in my childhood have either ended up in jail and have either died from AIDs, or have been killed due to bad choices of their own. Life will give you what you put into it. Sure there are stumbling blocks that will fall in your path stopping you or slowing you down. but it is up to you to overcome them and move forward. there are occasional freak exceptions to the rule, but THERE ARE NO FREE RIDES IN LIFE, SO STOP HOPING FOR ONE. The Lottery is usually a 4million to 1 chance for financial freedom. Ed Mcman is not knocking on your door. So get off of your butt and get moving. No one is going to make your furtune for you. Have a great life and work hard for what you get. In the end all you will have is your own dignity and pride for what you have done in your life.
