More Joining the Military

A lot more Americans are joining the military these days as the number of available jobs diminishes across the nation. They are enticed by a steady paycheck, benefits, and training. The intensified violence in Iraq also contributes to this occurrence.

But what does this have to do with college?

Well, service members who spend at least three years on active duty can attend any public college at government expense or use the payment for tuition at a private university. Although no data exists yet, there's a strong link between increased education benefits and new enlistments.
