BACKGROUND
My Future focuses primarily on Military opportunities. Perhaps the easiest way to get started is to take the “Work Interest Quiz”. Even if you are not interested in the military, this short quiz can help identify the types of work styles that you might ultimately be interested in. The test generates “work styles” that in response to your likes/dislikes. Some categories are: “Realistic,” “Social,” “Investigative,” “Conventional,” “Enterprising,” “Artistic.” Clicking on each link will bring up a list of jobs that fit into that category, both in civilian and military environments.
After you have done this, it would probably be a good idea to check out the military opportunities, matching them with your results. Clicking on the different branches of the service will enable you to explore their offerings more thoroughly.
There is a section on “Money Matters,” where you explore scholarship tips, grant tips, ROTC programs, military programs, work-study programs and loan tips. And finally, a resume builder, for any who might be ready to apply their skills to the workplace.
