There are over 4,100 military jobs available ranging from part time to full time. The military may be an excellent alternative to a traditional college curriculum. Check out Today’s Military website for further information regarding positions available in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, as well as their respective Reserve Corps and National Guard formations.
Additionally, the military can provide additional training through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) as well as Service Academies and Military Colleges.
The ROTC is a program offered by the Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force throughout our nation’s colleges that allows a student to have college paid for by promising to fulfill a term of duty after college ends. ROTC programs are available in over 1,000 colleges and universities throughout the country, providing students with an excellent post-high school option.
