Hello. I'm a 30-year-old military veteran with a small family, no kids. Right now, I'm studying information technology. It's a field I'd love to have worked in during service; however, that didn't happen. I feel like I've wasted 13 years of my adult life not going after my passion, and I won't be marketable even after four years of college. Life wasn't easy growing up, no one had my best interest, but that's the price some pay for being raised in 'Sin City.' My time after serving wasn't so great either. Like myself, I've known of other military veterans that come from the hood. They were able to get the careers they wanted. Why wasn't that me? Am I just some ignorant fool that other people's greed will foreshadow?
