I don't want to sound alarmist, but the following comes from the National Association for College Admission Counseling:

"Why Have For-Profit Colleges Been in the News Recently?

Investigations by the federal government, media, and States Attorneys General ​have revealed countless instances of unscrupulous for-profit colleges (particularly those that are run by large, publicly-traded companies), engaging in deceptive, aggressive and manipulative tactics to enroll as many students as possible, without regard for their potential for success or ability to afford tuition, in an effort to maximize profits.

The wealth of sources included on NACAC's Program Integrity page describe how these colleges have adversely impacted students and the taxpayers that fund federal and state financial aid. Additionally, the exhaustive report For Profit Higher Education: The Failure to Safeguard the Federal Investment and Ensure Student Success includes the findings of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pension's two year investigation of the for-profit sector."

This was followed by recent White House action: "The Department of Education released the final draft of its proposed rule on Friday to ensure that for-profit colleges offer post-graduation employment opportunities for their students that leave them capable of paying back their student loans. The rule, known as the “gainful employment” regulation, represents the culmination of a three-year fight with the industry, which successfully challenged a previous version of the rules in court."

Sounds like you need vocational counseling at your school or at the local State Jobs & Benefits Center. Talk to a counselor, whose job is to help guide you into making a decision, not tell you what you should do. You must make a vocational choice. What are you passionate about? What subjects do you like/dislike? Do you mean start over in a completely different field or start over in a civilian career? You must stop and think about what your real interests are, not what is popular or what somebody else wants. Most people make several career changes in their lives but the sooner you commit the better.

Thanks Byron. I've already transferred to Eastern Kentucky University and changed my degree to Police Studies but I'm having a hard time determining which route to go. My military experience is Human Resources but my degree is the opposite. I really want to pursue a nutrition science degree but at this point I'm not sure whether I am ready to start over this close to getting out of the Army.

Thank you for your service India. I do not know anything about AMU (I think most employers probably won't). If I were you I would attempt to go to a more recognized school. It's not that I have anything negative about AMU, it's just not as widely recognized.

Take care,
Byron Moore
