You know(OP) to be an officer you either have to go to an academy ie West Point, Anapolis, I beleive the AF's is The academy. Or you go to college and join their ROTC. Army and AF both have them. If you look on th web you can contact certain school to see who has them. If you want a four year scholarship from them you should start now. Take in mind to get into a service academy your grades need to be top notch, you need to be involved and you need a congressional appointment. If you do ROTC there is no appointment but they still look for good grades, atheletes, etc. I think ROTC is the better option you dont have to get up at 05-0600 every morning 90% of your weekends are off. Spring break and xmas off. Your summers are off except for one where you are gone for a month. Academy cadets usually have a lot of their summers taken up. Greatest thing of it all is when you graduate you get the same rank and same pay as somebody that came out of west point or Anapolis. Granted a West point education is like a harvard degree.

Don't necessarily agree that computers limit you! Every major corporation has a large IT department and automation is a key to being competitive. With that said I would not get into the field now if I was coming out of school, US programmers have to compete with resources from India who work for $500 a month.

+1. When I graduated in '86 with a BS in Computer Science I interviewed with @ 8 companies and had multiple offers to choose from. Not that way anymore. My son is a freshman in college and is currently undecided on a career path. I'm trying to steer him away from IT but ultimately it is his decision.
Nurse Anesthetist Salary Information:
The average nurse anesthetist salary is near the $150,000 range. This is far better than any other nursing salary in the United States.
Not sue how accurate but could be a good choice for some!

not sure why everyone is throwing out salary figures in terms of happiness. people who make 150k plus arent necessarily happy with there jobs. do what you love.
also you cant generalize occupational earnings. there are exceptions for everything. i.e. some general physicians make only 80-100k a year while others make 250k.
