It all depends upon what your definition of a job is. If you expect to make enough to justify the cost of training and support a family then that can be a long road. I would carefully look at what your needs and expectations are.
Times are hard and it might be difficult to even get a regional job without a four year degree. Maybe your GI bill is burning a hole in your pocket but in the long run you need to be able to make a living. I would carefully read these boards.
My father in law blew his GI bill getting his commercial instrument and then never flew again. Here it is 35 years later and he laments not getting something that he could make a living with.
