Sorry, but this post is a little biased. As someone who went through college (for both my Bachelors and Masters) BEFORE enlisting, I can honestly say it was the right choice and I wouldn't have done it any other way. I can 100% guarantee that without my college degrees I would not have been qualified for my job as an MU (plus, the Navy is paying back my student loans anyway). College education isn't for everyone, and getting a degree before enlisting in the Navy isn't the right track for everyone, but I would strongly encourage high school graduates to consider all their options and not just go for whatever gives you the most money. I guess it's something that the recruiter and I will never see eye to eye on.

Ok, rant over =)
