Life Advice for a young male?

I have recently graduated from an university. However due to two class requirements that i have not completed, i have to attend one more quarter and finish those classes in order to receive my diploma. I did not tell my parents about this and they were furious when recently i told them the truth about my situation. Ever since i lost my job earlier this year, I've been living at home with my parents and probably need to do that for couple of more months until i receive my degree. Although I want to get out as soon as possible, my financial situation is preventing me from doing so. I was thinking about the army officer career, I heard they provide you with a place to stay and a salary. How valid is this thing? What will I need to do to get on my feet as fast as possible?Life Advice for a young male?

You finish that degree. You can't be an officer without one.





I know how annoying parents can be esp when you have been out on your own. I have been there.





Finish that degree and then talk to an officer recruiter if you still want to join.





Good Luck.
Look dude. You should slow down a little, and realize it shouldn't be about ';getting out as soon as possible.'; Yes, being an officer in ANY branch will get you out, and SORT OF on your own, BUT... it's A LOT of work, and a HUGE commitment, believe me. I am in the military myself, and although I'm enlisted, there's nothing more annoying than someone in the service who bitches about how hard they got it and how much they just want out. If you want to join, enlisted or commissioned, more power to you, but, DO NOT join my military unless you are willing to commit everything. It can be a means to an end, and not an end itself, but you need to, and will, commit at least 100% while you're in. Think about this, long and hard, and if you even THINK it's something you can't deal with, then look at other options. I don't mean to be rude, or lecture, but it's the truth. I, and most service members will agree. If you don't WANT to be here, we don't want you here either. Just consider this a little before you make your decision, or ignore it and find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and btw, if you join, make it Navy.
Wow ';A'; let's hope you never find yourself in a situation where these ';gun-toting thugs'; would have to defend you and your loved ones. Oh wait a minute, do you live in the United States? If so, well then thanks to these ';GUN-TOTING THUGS'; you're able to live in it and say what you want so freely!





Unbelievable how UNGRATEFUL and IGNORANT you are.
You in the States? If so, finish your degree first. Officer application is not terribly fast. It will likely take several months.





Be patient. The exact same thing happened to my brother. He had to come home and live at home for a semester because he hadn't finished the right courses, and hadn't had time to register.





It's frustrating, but don't let it get to you. A degree is a degree, regardless of whether it takes a few extra months for you to get it. Your parents will probably accept it, if you are mature about it and make it clear you plan to finish as quickly as possible.
as an officer you may find yourself in a position where many peoples lives depend on you, don't do it as a way out of your current situation





evaluate yourself and try to see if you think your up to that responsibility, lord knows we don't need anymore inept officers





*cowards like ';A'; shows the worst in our society
