Options, options. What do I do?

Findapath-Job Choice/Clarity

I have recently finished my 4 years in the military. 23M. Very anxious about taking the right path forward.

Experience:

  • 4 years as a Navy BU (construction, project management, minor engineering)
  • 2 years completed of BA in philosophy (started before Navy career)

I definitely want to finish my BA, but I’m not sure if I should switch my degree. If I do, then to what? Additionally, with my education benefits, I could realistically get a Masters at little to no cost as well.

Additionally, I currently live near San Francisco but pay $0 in rent/utilities due to a part time job I have (only 1 week per month).

So I’m left wondering, do I finish my bachelors as is, get an MBA/PMP, and go into project management? Do I finish BA and apply to medical school (radiology is my top interest). Do I switch my BA to a IT/CS/CE degree, get an MBA and go from there? Do I finish my BA, get some kind of certificate and look for a job that way? Do I say F the BA and get some sort of certificate/AA and go from there?

I’m very lost. I have always been a great student, and I am willing to work hard.

I want to make a great amount of money and maintain some quality of life ( I know, sacrifices will always be necessary).

So what do I do? All these different interests I have, all these ideas flowing, what do I do.

What would YOU do if you were in my position?
