<prompt> Human: So i guess ill start of with my not so great prospects, Im 18 years old, i graduated this year from high school, school was never a main concern of mine due to the fact ive always felt behind. When my mom married my step father we moved multiple times during school so i was playing catch up for most of my schooling. i have a good job as a helper for an electric company making 11.50 an hour 40 hours a week. I just applied to school near my home and i plan on doing the ROTC program there. My step father is verbally and physically abusive and my mother has turned a blind eye to it all and has started to shun me for lack of a better term. Ive never felt like a part of my family. The military seems like the best route for me to go at this point, im in a serious relationship that plays a huge role in all this as well as many other factors. And to top it all off if im not out of the house by the 18th of August hes filing a restraining order on me and forcefully throwing me out. I just want to explore all my options here but im leaning towards the military for college assistance. Thanks guys  <response>: If you go into the military, get yourself a good MOS that you can carry with you out into the real world if you do not stay in. Get that clearance, get that education, get that trainingexperience. If the military is in your heart, it can give great returns if you do it right. The beginning of your career might suck bottom of the totem pole, but I am sure it would be better than your current situation.I recommend something in: finance, information technology, intel, heavy equipment, medicine, or whatever trends the job markets have.
