I’m in occupational therapy. It pays the bills and it’s relatively low stress compared to the military, but nothing like what I did (was a machine gunner in the Marine Corps) and I miss that type of work. I also do firearms instruction with a pretty impressive company in the DMV area (Six Eight Training Group) that keeps me involved in the shooting world and I’ve actually become a way better shooter than I was in the military. I did get a BS in environmental science just because so I didn’t have to deal with people shoving it in my face if I didn’t have a bachelors. Fortunately that hasn’t been the case. Still, I’m only 28, and I am not set on a career yet, but in the meantime with little kids and a growing family, I need financial security.
I also live on a farm which keeps me busier than when I lived in the suburbs.
