re: Deciding on a Career Path

Thanks for the insight, but I have worked 2 jobs in excess of 60 hrs a week to put myself through school and only recently gotten money through the VA. My grades are 2.5-2.8. They'd be higher but LSU forces you to include all work attempted, even if you have declared academic bankruptcy at a mother school.
I have zero desire to continue my career in military. I'm great with my money, I enjoy using the finance background I have.
I have taken all the career quizzes and bs I can handle through my Human resource calss this semester, it's pushing me towards some decent stuff. They all give my best fitting career option as Funeral director, I HATE funerals lol

Not sure what your exact GPA is, but I had a 2.9 in undergrad and destroyed the GRE (98th percentile verbal, 80th percentile math). Received a fellowship for graduate school at a pretty good university.

If you have no debt with undergrad and are worrying about the future, I say study up for the GRE. Take a year off to live like a hobo with a job. Put away some money.

Get into a graduate school that offers tangible benefits like actual job placements. Don't do like I did and continue on an academic subject that may or may not get you a job.

You may have to get a loan to fund your graduate school, but $30k of debt with a graduate degree and a potentially guaranteed job is better than no debt as a barista.
