I'm finishing up my sophomore year at an hbcu. I no longer find value in the quality of education that I am receiving here. So a few weeks ago I decided to finish this semester and pursue a life in the military. Navy specifically.
My plans are to pursue the same type of jobs that fit into my major I have now, information technology. I just want to get straight into the type of things that I want to do instead of paying 10 grand a year for teachers who can't teach and mandatory public speaking classes. Friends say I should finish up but if I do then that's even more debt that I would be in because I'm going strictly off loans. If I was at a different school then I'm sure I would feel differently but unfortunately I'm not.
I could also transfer to really analyze post secondary options even further but I would still be paying out of pocket. I'm not racking up any more debt.
In the navy I want to pursue a stem job only so with whatever I choose it will be valuable to me once I become a civilian. I have a plan. I'm not going in blind. I know exactly what I'm getting into and how to make it work for me. I'm still young and aware that I don't know everything though. I would really appreciate honest opinions and advice from the more experienced members on here. What should I consider before making this final decision? What would you do in my position and what do you know now that would have made you make that decision back then.
Thank you
