<p>I think students have a lot of hurdles to overcome to make college affordable. The job market is tough and a lot of internships don’t pay much. My daughter, who is fortunate to have received a full-ride for her UG is already looking toward professional school costs and has decided to start the Army ROTC program this coming semester, her sophomore year. She is making contact with the school’s ROTC Major and working out like crazy to score high on the physical fitness test. She knows if she does well she will have a chance to get her professional school paid for by the Army and then make a career of the Army.</p>
<p>Two-years ago if anyone had told me she was going to do this I would have told you that you were crazy, but watching the economy fail has opened her eyes up to looking at the military. I am proud of her for taking the bull by the horns and giving it a shot.</p>
