There actually are some jobs you can get, even as a 0000 or 8404 for example, in California you can challenge the CA board of nursing for a LVN/LPN and work as a nurse there (if you do so for, I believe its 1-2 years - you can transfer your license to SOME other states) or you can challenge the board (which does not have to be done in CA, you can do it in your state) and work at a naval hospital or VA office. Contact the CA board of nursing for more info. Dont listen to the first person you talk to there is such a program and you can do alot with it. Or you can get your EMT- I and work for a contracting agency i.e. Blackwater or TripleCanopy, some paying over 100K for for those willing to deploy. Also remember you get out 6 months - 1 yr early for school, if someone tells you that's not true they're lying or don't know what they're talking about. Hope this helps someone.
