I was wondering what type of fields everyone has gotten into after your Active Duty as a Marine? I was looking into different careers after the Marines but I want to see what others here are doing? What can I expect after the Marines?
I am 21 and have my HS Diploma but not college credits yet.

I was a Harrier Mechanic, was smart and not lazy and used my experience to be signed off from the FAA to take my A&P tests and came out of the Corps with an A&P to work on Aircraft. If I had to do that in the civilian world it would have cost me thousands of dollars.
I then went to flight school and used the GI bill to get my Commercial, Instrument, Flight Instructor, etc Licenses.
The experience in the Marines, and the skills I obtained landed me jobs I would have only dreamed about had I not join the Corps.
Be smart and not lazy, The Marines will use you, use them back Education wise.
