I'm considering going career with the army. Would it be better to go through ROTC or try my luck at a military college?

I personally did the Junior Military College, Early Commission Program, route through Marion Military Institute. It was one of the best decisions I made. I put my captains packet before the board this year and I’m 25. I’m also now one of the Board Members for their Alumni Brigade.

I'm actually considering job corps because I'd be paid to learn medicine. I know they have a Jr Rangers program, or something like that, so I'm seriously considering it. Any thoughts?

If you’re talking junior rangers like Rangers from the army there’s nothing junior to them outside the Army.

You also could get paid to learn medicine to an extent if you become a medical officer or combat medic.

Depends on how much of a military environment you want in college. In addition to the service academies, There are six senior military colleges where the environment is primarily military.

If you are "highly motivated" and think you would enjoy going to college in a highly regimented military lifestyle then consider a military academy such as West Point, Norwich, the Citadel or VMI. If you want a more "normal" college experience then go to ROTC at a "traditional" college. Good luck!
