Military to Civilian Employment (Doctors Lawyers)?
So I am 18 soon to be 19 and I will be joining the Air Force if everything goes smoothly with my physical and this is something I am very excited about just because I've realized going to college 1st isn't for me. My question is after I get out I would possibly become a doctor or a lawyer seeing how my schooling will be paid for but my question is yes sounds all easy but what does it actually require and are there jobs I could take in the air force that could help me while I'm still in the Air Force i scored a 75 on my ASVAB so I can have almost any job as of now.

Hi,
The biggest thing you need to do is realize that you will have to get an education in those fields. So get ready for that. If I were you, during my DEP I would be studying and CLEP'ing classes left and right. When you enter the AF you be enrolled in the CCAF (Google) This can help you work towards an associates degree. Between your training, CLEP, and CCAF degree you will be well on your way towards your BS degree. While you are in service, study for and take any career certifications/boards/qualifications that are relevant in the civilian world. I assure you, these are not fields you can do well at if you dont have attention to detail and a desire to become educated. Good Luck.
