Birds and the Navy

Here's an imaginative blogpost about how job searching is like a bird feeder.

Continuing the Memorial weekend look at job opportunities in the services, you have to be 17 to 35 for your new job in the US Navy (the Army will take you till 42.). The Navy lists the pay on their site (something the Army didn't do) and starting out it's $16,800 (about $800 less than the Army).

The Navy will pay 100% of your tuition when you pursue an undergraduate degree in your off-duty time. For an advanced degree, they'll cover all or most of your tuition. (To someone who graduated owing $50,000, this is just incredible.)
