I'm stuck trying to make a decision on whether or not i should go to college first or join the army reserve. i'm needing help with this,if anybody can give me their thoughts about it would be helpful to me.
It depends... what are your career goals? Military service can be very valuable. It provides great training and job experience, as well as funding for college through the GI bill. However, keep in mind that you'll probably be called to active duty, and you'll be required to commit several years to service.
On the other hand, going to school is expensive, but will pay for itself if you're focused and have a career plan. Remember that you could be eligible for scholarships and grants, or you may have family that can help with your college expenses if that is a concern.
