I don’t know about anyone else, but I had no idea what I wanted to do or be when I was 18. However, the draft and the Vietnam war had a way of making any course of study look attractive. Two years later, I’d had all the political rectitude and stupifying boredom that I could take and I joined the Marines.
That was a real education. I learned a trade, IT, and had the opportunity to live in a foreign country, take college classes, and teach English to foreign students. You couldn’t buy an experience like that, and I got paid to do it.
