Making Career and Education Decisions
Making decisions about what path you will take when pursuing your education and career can be overwhelming, but don’t worry. If you need assistance, admissions advisors or career counselors at a military-friendly college can help you determine the direction that may be the best suited for you. They can also help guide you to make the most of your military education benefits.
For details on various schools, programs, and military benefits for college, active and reserve service members should get in touch with their local education service office. Veterans can seek assistance from a career and employment counselor in the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Below are some resources to get you started:
