“They should join the military instead and learn to love their country.”

Amen to that.

I am just shy of my BA in Business. I worked on it intermittently during my Army years. Some of it was paid for by you nice Taxpayers; some of it I paid for myself.

Long story short...when I retired from the Army, I was only 37; employers were knockin’ down my door to hire me, even without finishing my degree.

Since then, I’ve handled the accounts for two, two million-dollar plus businesses, and have run my own side-businesses for nearly a decade now. My husband is also self-employed. We raised three kids.

We’ve never missed a meal or a house payment, so I guess I really learned all I needed to know in the Army, LOL!

I’ve never been to college. That’s not something I’m necessarily proud of, but neither am I ashamed. My lack of sheepskin does disqualify me from any decent government job, and that’s not a bad thing. But, I can say that I’ve never been turned down for a job and I’ve never been unemployed.
