A lot of you sound like John Kerry: If Levi Johnston can’t go to college, he must go in the Army. (Because that’s the only choice for people that can’t get into college?)
He’s an apprentice electrician in Alaska. Industrial electrician is a good career. If he’s careful, he can spend the rest of his life as an electrician (then master electrician>>electrical foreman>>electrical superintendent>>etc). There’s no shame in that.
I’m not the one that suggested the Army as an option. I find it annoying that so many see the military as some sort of social service program for people who’ve made mistakes or gotten in trouble. I prefer the military to be filled with energetic, talented men and women who choose it over their other options, not because they have no options.
He’ll be very successful as an electrician and you get paid to learn as opposed to shelling out huge bucks to a college for what amounts to little more than indoctrination these days.
I started out on this thread pointing out the the delay in getting married may have been an insurance based decision. He may not get insurance as a benefit until he gets his first certificate.
