So I am only 20 years old now with very little college education. I am in the US Army and am currently in Afghanistan. I strongly want to go back to school after I get out of the Army and finish up my degree in Sociology or Psychology. I wanted to work with the FBI, but I don’t see that happening with today’s job market.
So after the Army this is what my resume will look like:
-3 years active duty service in the US Army(1 deployment to Afghanistan)
-SECRET clearance from the US Army good for 10 years as of June 2009
-Fluent in English and Bengali. Also speak French, but not fluently
-Bachelor’s degree in Psychology(or Sociology)
I just want a job where I’ll be able to support myself(be able to afford an apartment, utilities, have enough to eat, gasoline, etc). Do you see me being able to get a job anywhere in the the northeastern United States with these stats? And should I major in Sociology or Psychology? Which would open more doors for me in terms of getting a job that pays enough?
Thanks!

I wouldn’t rule out the FBI, if that’s something that interests you. Also, there should be other government agencies that could use your skills. Can you major in psychology and minor in sociology? You should have no problem finding the right niche because your experience and education will be impressive. Thank you for your service to our country.
Honestly you shouldn’t have a problem. Companies love to hire ex-military, because they have a dedication and determination that is unmatched, not to mention the leadership experiences and ability to think under pressure. Also, the FBI really likes to hire ex military as well, you shouldn’t have too many issues. Sociology and Psychology would both be important depending on what you want to do, but remember that most places will want a Masters higher for a good job in those fields.
