The marines I think is like the army where they offer free college for the most part. If you work hard enough and really want you can have time for anything; My dad went to college part time and took night classes for years while he was in the military and he took classes at every place we lived: Germany, Texas, Maryland... you name it they have a campus you can go to. They also have online classes at the American Military University where you can get your Masters if you so choose. He walked to the mailbox in my HS graduation robe to get his masters degree, it was hysterical. |

Sign up for the GI Bill. It is designed to pay for your tuition. My husband earned his MBA while active duty Navy. It wasn't easy, but it can be done. He took classes through St. Leo University which offers discounts to active duty and their spouses.

There are a few different options to get help financially for schooling while in the military. You can go wo school while active duty, but it is quite a challenge. The military does support and even encourage furthering your education while serving. Keep in mind once you join you serve the military first. You will have training required for the military as well as your duties to your job. Going to school while enlisted in not easy, but can be done, you do not receive time off to attend classes or get school work done. If you are disciplined enough to do so, you will be fine. If you expect going to school to take priority over your military enlistment, you may need to reanalyze. |
