My time in the Navy is ending sooner then I was planning, so I'm looking into college. Should I switch to the post 9/11?

Well sir, im looking to get a degree in American History and a teaching degree as well.I havent started any college yet.

I follow, here's the thing: I hear what you want, and gather something of what you want it for. That being said, I'm assuming you're getting off active, unless you tell me you want USNR possibly, or one of the other svcs. That being said, depending on how rapidly you'd be getting out, I'd very def ask for a transcript of what training youvenhad while on active. Imdontnhane necessarily say that everything you did on active might transfer twd an Assoc or Bach, however, if you have the time, you very def should look at submitting what you've done thus far for whatever credit recognition you can derive from it, to not do so would just simply be wasteful. If you're going USNR at all, then you might also look into some other stuff I can send, to see if it's at all usable. UoPeople hasnthe advantage asmid said that it's basically free, though I honestly don't know how useful or açcepted it'd be for transfer. Nevertheless, I'd at least ask, if only as it's a nearly free option. Now, having said that,mustt the major be history? Not that it's bad, honest, I'm merely exploring your mother interests that's all. What other majors might you have any interest in as well other than history? Also, what prompts your interest in history? What grade levels would you want to teach? Elementary. Junior high or middle school? High school? You should understand that part and parcel of teaching is seeking tenure inevitably, that's a very real concern and practical necessity day to day, both for school teachers, as well as college faculty? Next, saying you want to teach history is one thing; what specific era interests you. Which country? American history? World history? European history? Military history? It's often not as simple as merely saying you just want history generally, that's all I'm trying to explain. Next, generally. Even for most public schools, especially high school, or junior high, havîng a master's now is pretty much requisite, as well as àn Ed.D. or PhD to be licensed to act as a principal, I'm fairly certain now. Pls understand, my object is obv not to dissuade you, merely to help you understand some of the realities involved, honest. That's why I thought to tell you everything here, so you'd have as few illusions as possible. Before my now total perm disability, I'd wanted to teach, quite badly, and did look at public schools for math, physics, and also in voc ed school, electronics. It just clearly wasn't for me though I did look at trying for it quite closely, I assure you. I hope this was of use, I'd be most eager to know your further thoughts, what I've given you here is what I'm hoping you'll at least find what I said of at least some value, I'm here if you'd care to chat further, anytime, many thanks.
