Long story short. I am not going into the Military so what are some things I should consider doing?
Get your MBA. Form a successful company in any field from energy, medical supply, banking, to pasteurized human waste (seriously). Or go to medical/dental school.
Make a few hundred grand and buy a plane. Or go crazy and make millions. Then buy a big plane and a few pilots. Get your ratings and a type in your jet. Fly when you want. Sit in the back and drink when you want.
Much better than being a bus or limo driver.
