As a Veteran myself, I would recommend going to a community college first. I did the two years at Valencia and am currently awaiting transfer to another university. Also the community colleges all have direct connects with the major universities. It gets you a foot in the door at least. What you need to do it look at degree options elsewhere. From what I have heard/seen, close friends that have been to full sail have found it very hard to find jobs once graduating. Most of them found jobs in other fields. Also if you decide to do the community college route, look up which degree you would like from a 4 year university and follow that degree pattern. General AA studies usually can get all of the credits for your pre reqs for most 4 year programs.
