last night i found out that my family wants me to go to college instead of joining the army. i was set on joining the army for the duration of the year until last night. of course i've applied to colleges but they're all community and one university. i don't really know what to do because i feel like a failure to be honest. all my friends are going to their colleges because it's what they wanted. i didn't apply to many colleges because i wasn't sure my family would be able to pay. now that all changed. i really don't know how to feel because i don't know what im going to do with my future anymore. my mos was 68T, animal care specialist. im just really stuck and disheartened. this is the first time in a while that i really feel like there's nothing for me i really don't know what to do at all. i have no one to talk to.

You joined in 2023 and made your first post now?
I think you should do what you like. Your family is not going to live your life. When I was going to college, I really wanted to do marine engineering. I wanted to leave my country, travel around the world. My mother didn't allow me to do it. She said. I'd hate it, but the truth is that is how I would have wanted to live even now. You make your own decision and live with it.
LOL yeah, i just never really had anything to say. but i agree with what you're saying. it's just really sucks how my mother told me i had to find a way to pay for college on my own so that's why i joined. now all of a sudden they saying they can pay for my college? it's crazy how i could've been applying to colleges i really wanted to go to instead of progressing in the army decision :/You joined in 2023 and made your first post now?

You may still have time, not this year but next year. So in the meantime, you could work and better prepare yourself financially for what could be your entry into university.
I don't know how old you are to be mentioning the time issue; you may have a slightly flawed perception.
If you talk about your situation, people will understand, and your family will too. You could try; you have nothing to lose. That way, in case you have any decision, you'll be more at ease.
Best regards, be well.
