Hi I am planning to join the army or the marine a few years from now and I was wondering the benefits of going to college before enlisting? And also do most people get a good job after they leave the marine or army if they graduated from college?
Thank you

College first, officer school next. Join first you'll be a grunt!

There are ROTC programs at most colleges, and officer training school. So do you prefer management or worker positions.

Looking for a job, saying you were a Captain may go further than saying you were a corporal or sgt ( not that the Sargent don't actually run the army, but it is not the same on a resume.

Many places will look good at you, if you have military training and have some years of military service. **also military is a great career, and staying in can be a great option.
