College does show a higher level of trainabuility (you can tell I didnt go to college) however your military background should show that...but in the big picture you have to have it....these guys are right...I was lucky, I got hired for a major frieghter with just a high school education, however I have been on furlough for 5 plus years....I have the time to be hired at fdx,ups but I dont have a degree...they wont even look at me. I have to wait to go back or give up the dream....maybe I should get mine online too....you have time so get going...at least your not 43
